Each candidate made two contrasting speeches; for Silver, one had to be on an ethical topic and for Gold, one was required to be political. Speeches covered a wide range of subjects and demonstrated careful, well-considered research. Titles included ‘The wonders of a Wonder-Woman (a tribute to feminism)’, ‘A petite person’s perspective’ and ‘The NHS Reforms’. Everyone spoke engagingly with confidence, flair and conviction.
Candidates were then given 15 minutes to prepare a 5 minute speech on a previously unseen subject, such as ‘Is the mobile phone the greatest invention of the 20th century?’; ‘Ghosts – fact or fiction?’; ‘Green’…. Congratulations to all medallists, and thanks to Mrs Massey for her guidance, tuition and support.
