This week we held our Infants Public Speaking Finals. Reaching the final four was no easy task, as the standard across all participants was truly impressive. Each student spoke with confidence and clarity, and it was particularly fitting that one of the chosen topics was Courage, our school value for this term.
Public speaking at an early age helps children develop far more than just presentation skills. It nurtures confidence, strengthens their ability to express ideas, and builds resilience when speaking in front of others. These are lifelong skills that support leadership, empathy, and the courage to share one’s voice. Starting young ensures our students grow comfortable with communication, not only in the classroom but in all areas of their lives.
