Education Week: Oratory Contest 2023

The Secondary English Department organised their inaugural High School Oratory Contest during Education Week, featuring 22 student orators on Monday, 22 May 2023.

All students from Years 7 to Year 12 attended and found the event very educational and inspirational. Some students who did not take part came forth and declared their interest already to participate in the forthcoming Battle of Speakers Contest scheduled for third term.

The contest saw emerging orators and some very talented discoveries who surprised everyone with their speaking abilities and level of confidence. All participants received certificates and consolation prizes.

We are proud to announce the winners for this year’s contest who will be officially awarded within a week’s time, inShaAllah. They were all ably judged by the following panel members: Mr Vis, Ms Tatum, Ms Desiree, Ms Taybah, Mr Ata, Ms Yasmin, Ms Sumeya, Ms Shahnaz and Ms Shireen.
