Our Focus this Year: Oracy
We are excited to announce that this academic year, our primary focus at Corpus Christi is on Oracy – the art of effective spoken communication. We believe that fostering strong oral communication skills is a fundamental aspect of education and personal development.
Oracy encompasses the ability to articulate thoughts, express ideas, and engage in meaningful discussions with confidence and clarity. It empowers students to communicate effectively, whether it’s presenting ideas, participating in debates, or simply engaging in everyday conversations.
Why Oracy Matters:
- Empowerment: Developing strong oracy skills empowers our students to express themselves confidently and persuasively.
- Academic Success: Effective communication is essential for academic success, from class discussions to presentations.
- Life Skills: Oracy is a life skill that prepares our students for future personal and professional endeavours.
Throughout the year, we will be incorporating various oracy-building activities, exercises, and projects into our curriculum. We aim to create a supportive environment where students can practice and refine their spoken communication skills.
We encourage parents, guardians, and the entire school community to join us in promoting and celebrating the development of strong oracy skills in our students. Together, we can help our students become articulate, confident, and effective communicators who are ready to face the challenges of the future.
Stay tuned for updates on our Oracy-focused initiatives and activities throughout the year!
