“Speech is power”

We are so proud of our Hillhead HS pupils who recently took part in the Glasgow schools public speaking competition. Pupils from all over Glasgow demonstrated their public speaking skills at the Glasgow City Chambers. A massive round of applause for Lewis Harris who made it to the final stages of the competition!
