What an outstanding achievement!! Our students versed schools who have up to 1000 enrolments. Amelie will now go onto a regional final.
Public speaking builds the ability to confidently negotiate and communicate while developing skills in motivating and persuading others. We believe that learning effective communication skills helps our students navigate the world and build a strong foundation for their future.
Arcadia Public School provides quality public speaking opportunities for our students. We proudly participate in the District Inter School Debating Competition with our school teams regularly achieving excellent results.
Every student in the school participates in the Educational Multicultural Perspectives Public Speaking Competition at Local and Regional levels. Our strong links with Galston HS sees members of their English Faculty tutoring our students in key aspects of public speaking such as body language, articulation, eye contact and volume.
