Macleans College Junior Speech Finals 2024

Posted on November 04, 2024

The annual Macleans College Junior Speech Finals took place recently.

The Year 9 and 10 persuasive speech competitions were held at the end of last term as part of the curriculum, with the best speaker from every class going through to a qualifying round, which resulted in eight finalists.

The quality of the speeches in the finals was extremely high, and the judges had a very difficult decision to make. Thank you to Mr Reed and Mr Packer who judged the speeches for Year 9, and Miss Wong and Mr Packer who judged the Year 10 group.
