Hillmorton —

Twenty-three students from Years 7 to 10 competed in this year's competition, with a very high standard of public speaking across the board.

The theme this year was 'Inspirational', with students choosing a person who inspired them as the focus for their speeches.  Topics ranged from celebrities like Michelle Obama, David Tennant, Tupac Shukar and Emma Watson to some moving personal speeches about friends, coaches and family members.

Year 7: Sasha-Helena Begg 

Year 8: Bea Christie 

Year 9: Charlotte Shepherd 

Year 10: Yuki Lin 

The overall winner of the competition was Yuki Lin (Y10)
