Well done to S3 students Ailidh Hamilton, Brogan Meechan and Peter Douglas-Kellie who took part in the annual Rotary Club Youth Speaks competition last week, hosted this year by Mearns Castle High School.
 
The team delivered an excellent presentation on ‘The Commercialisation of Christmas’ and were runners up in the senior category. Ailidh was the team’s main speaker, while Brogan chaired the presentation and Peter delivered Barrhead High School’s vote of thanks.
 
Well done to all of them!

 

 

Rotary Speaking Competition

Thursday night saw three S3 pupils taking part in the prestigious Rotary Speakers’ Club competition. It was open to all ERC schools. The Barrhead team – Eilidh Weatherston, Kirsty Robson and Daniella Mundemba – were third to speak. The girls discussed the legacy of the Commonwealth Games.  You could have heard a pin drop whilst the girls delivered their presentation. The girls were awarded second place – which means that they go through to the next stage of the competition at the end of November. They were a credit to the school and themselves.

   

 

A big thank you to Mr Maybury who coached them through to success. 

Next speaking competition – Rotary Youth Speaks Competition –  is on Nov 13th . Anyone keen to take part see Mrs Richardson or Mr Maybury ASAP.  

We already have several willing volunteers. 

Maybe Barrhead will send 2 teams to the next competition! Watch this space.
