Congratulations to our 2020 Speech Finalists...

Our School Speech Finals were held yesterday in the PAC to a slightly different audience as to previous years due to Covid restrictions, however that certainly didn't hinder the high quality of the speeches shared.

A special thank you to Jill Taylor, who judged the Speech Finals. We are certainly very fortunate to have Jill's expertise, experience and incredible knowledge of the speechmaking process.
