On the 10th May I represented the school at the Voice of Youth Public Speaking Competition. In preparation for the competition, I wrote a 6-minute speech on my chosen topic "bring back the magic" which I focused on the magic of imagination.

On the day, I competed my 6-minute speech and a 3-minute short notice speech. We were given 15 minutes to write our short notice on one of the three given topics. I chose the first topic of working together. My competitors were tough and despite not winning my heat I enjoyed my experience and have learnt new skills. Ready to compete next year.
