This evening’s 𝗜𝗡𝗧𝗘𝗥𝗛𝗢𝗨𝗦𝗘 𝗦𝗣𝗘𝗘𝗖𝗛 𝗖𝗢𝗡𝗧𝗘𝗦𝗧 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.

𝗠𝗶𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗶 𝗣𝗼𝗻𝗴𝗼𝗺𝗮’s poignant speech on ‘Choosing the Middle Seat’ had us all inspired and earned her third place. 𝗧𝗮𝗿𝗮 𝗙𝗲𝗿𝗿𝗲𝗶𝗿𝗮’s ‘last minute’ speech on Procrastination took a well-deserved second place with 𝗔𝘀𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗗𝘄𝗮𝗻𝗲’s brilliantly executed speech on the Power of Storytelling earned him a standout first position.
Mr Langmead concluded the evening by sharing some valuable tips on speechmaking and all that was left was to announce 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗶𝗻𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗵𝗼𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝘄𝗵𝗶𝗰𝗵 𝘄𝗮𝘀 𝗗𝗮𝗹𝘆 𝘄𝗵𝗼 𝗽𝗶𝗽𝗽𝗲𝗱 𝗔𝗿𝗻𝗼𝘁𝘁 𝗯𝘆 𝟰 𝗽𝗼𝗶𝗻𝘁𝘀.
