Anahita the Speechmaker

Tonight, our classmate, Anahita, represented Elm Park School at the Zone Speech Finals, with her speech about Child Labour.

All senior students at Elm Park (and surrounding schools) have been writing and delivering speeches in their classes over the course of this term.  Finalists were chosen to represent their classes at the school Speech Finals.  Room 20 was represented by Anahita, Ashleigh with her speech on Movie Magic, and Sophia with her speech on Brothers and Sisters.

The speeches varied from humorous accounts of life to information about serious world issues.  All finalists did their classes proud.  In the end, Anahita was chosen.

At the Zone Speech Finals, Anahita competed against finalists from other local schools.  The judges commended her on her delivery skills - excellent volume and natural gestures and expression.

After they had deliberated, the judges announced Anahita as third-place.  Congratulations Anahita!  We are so proud of you for representing Elm Park so well.

P.S. A tip from the judges for all speechmakers - Don't underestimate the impact of a great introduction and conclusion.  Grab your audience witha  punchy beginning and make sure you round up your speech and leave them with something to remember!
