In one of the most rigorous public speaking events in our College calendar, five of our senior students were brilliant school ambassadors in the recent Lions Youth of the Year competition held recently. Shiv Kataria (Year 9), Calan Young (Year 11), Elizabeth Moore (Year 10), Gomanth Anand Lokesh (Year 10) and Meg Kilby (Year 11) each participated in three separate events and were up against stiff competition from much older students.
Both Shiv and Meg won ‘Best Public Speaker’ in their individual heats to the admiration of all. As first-time speakers, Gomanth and Calan received such positive feedback and Elizabeth Moore proved to be once again a natural public speaker.
Many thanks to Dr Aditi Kataria for her support of our students and Phil Crowden from the Riverside Lions Club for this amazing opportunity for our students. Our College is so fortunate having the support of Lions with the many opportunities they provide for our youth.
