The annual Lecturette competition for Year 6 students has come around again, with five St Joseph’s School students standing tall to present their speeches at the Lecturette District Final held on Monday 30th November.

Magnolia Mills, Lillian Kendall, Eden Shatte, Stella Rabic and Ashley Juriss were selected to represent St Joseph’s School in the finals, after reciting their lectures to students, staff and families in the Town Final competition held on Monday 16th November. 

While public speaking can be very daunting, all students were confident and assertive in the delivery of their speeches which were the result of weeks of planning, drafting, editing and polishing.

The students enjoyed the opportunity to develop their research skills and present a point of view. All competitors did well and the competition was very close. Well done to all students who represented the school in the 2020 Granite Belt Lecturette Finals and to Stella and Lillian who were awarded first and second place respectively.
