Exciting news in the Public Speaking world for Sacred Heart! We had eight students competing in the Rostrum Voice of Youth Public Speaking Competition on Sunday 23 March, with SHC making up nearly half of the competitors in the Geelong heats.

April Fifer, Evie Lee, Anaiah Harvey, Adriana Sim, Eleanor Van Kalken and Leah James spoke beautifully and confidently. A special congratulations goes to both Saffron Macfadyen and Isobel Heer, (pictured below), who made it through to the semi-finals, and to her absolute credit, Isobel won the entire Geelong region heats and will now be representing SHC in the state finals later this year! Isobel's winning speech was on the topic of 'Bring Back the Magic'.

What an amazing achievement for all participants – for many it was the first time speaking in a public forum, and we admire your bravery and dedication.
