28th NovemberDouble Success for SCD in Public Speaking Competitions
The evening of Thursday 21st November saw success for four public speaking teams in different competitions - one in person and one via Zoom.
Two Key Stage 3 teams travelled to Hemel Hempstead to take part in a highly competitive Rotary public speaking competition. Congratulations to Jasmine C (chair), Margaux L (proposer) and Fraser A (opposer) who beat seven other teams to win the competition. They were closely followed by Om P (chairperson), Mia W (proposer) and Meghna M (opposer) who took second place. The judges were unanimous in their decision and praised the St Clement Danes teams for their interesting topic choices and 'their spirited delivery and audience interaction'.
Meanwhile, two Key Stage 4 teams progressed to the next round of the ESU Public Speaking Competition after presenting via Zoom against teams from the independent and selective sector. We enjoyed speeches on diverse subjects including why poetry is more important than musical lyrics, the sport of napping and Doomsday.
Congratulations to the Year 11 team - Katherine W (main speaker), Katie L (chair) and Lars M (questionner) and the Year 10 team - Sophie M (main speaker), Alina T (chair) and Robert G (questionner) for brilliant performances.
The next rounds for both competitions in January/February 2025 promise to be exciting.
