ESU Public Speaking Success

Churcher’s got off to a flying start in Round One of the English Speaking Union’s Public Speaking Competition, with both of our teams progressing to the branch final in January.

Competing against seven other teams, with four progressing to the next round, Churcher’s did well to secure two places.

Ottie and Emilia both performed powerful speeches on the topics of injustice and power and then fielded questions from the other schools with great composure.

Our Chairs, Phoebe and Scarlet showed great command of the proceedings, working with speakers from other schools. Our interrogative pair: Thomas and Felix, asked a range of probing questions to cement the team’s success.
