Public Speaking Success
The Mearns Castle High School Public Speaking teams go from strength to strength and achieve great success in recent competitions…
In November 2015, the senior team took part in the East Renfrewshire heats of the Rotary Club Youth Speaks competition achieving third place with a delightful and entertaining speech on the ways in which we have become addicted to technology.
The Junior teams also managed to wow the judges and the audiences with their great performance…
Recently three S3 Pupils, Iona G, Kirstin W and Emma S, took part in the East Renfrewshire Heats of the Clarkson’s Speaker’s Club ASC Junior Competition. The girls won the East Renfrewshire Heat with an outstanding performance, delivering a speech on whether the Monarchy is anachronistic in this day and age.
The Judges were extremely impressed by the excellent delivery, content and team work.
The girls were first in their category and they progressed to the next stage winning the regional heats as they argued the pros and cons of the First Past the Post Electoral system, proving they are definitely first minister material!
Well done to our team!
More S3 Success in public speaking…
Another outstanding performance from our Junior Public Speaking team was delivered on the 12th of November as three S3 pupils competed for the East Renfrewshire Schools Heat of the Rotary Club youth Speaks competition. The team composed by Kirsten W., Ben S. and Molly G. won the competition and will now compete on the Regional heats of the Youth Speaks competition which will be held in February.
This is another great success for our speakers who were praised for the excellent speeches, team work and confidence as well as on their ability to engage and entertain the audience. Well done!!!
