Churcher’s Team Talks the Talk

Churcher’s played host to the South Regional Finals of the English Speaking Union’s Public Speaking Competition on Monday. 

Six teams from schools across the south competed for a place in the national final in Cambridge later this month. Topics tackled included: oppression, lowering the voting age and whether or not the patriarchy is dead.  

The winning team was a formidable trio from Seaford College, with Churcher’s narrowly missing out. 

The home team, comprising of Ruby Chiduza (Questioner), Zhara Ireland (Speaker) and Kian Noorani (Chairperson) were worthy runners up, with Ruby taking the prize for Best Questioner on the day. The judges called it, ‘One of the closest fought rounds they have ever seen.’ 

Best of luck to Seaford for the final; Churcher’s are primed to step in if called upon!
