This evening’s ๐๐ก๐ง๐๐ฅ๐๐ข๐จ๐ฆ๐ ๐ฆ๐ฃ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ข๐ก๐ง๐๐ฆ๐ง was a celebration of the spoken word with some extra spice thrown in due to the fact that for the first time in a while, Arnott and Daly were pitted against one another.
This year was also unusual in that the Head Prefects of Union and Arthur Kingwill House were invited to participate. With a wide range of topics to choose from, our Grade 11s and 12s spent the week writing and preparing their speeches – an admirable feat during such a very busy time.
