The District Finals of the annual R.O. & B.M. Colls Memorial Lecturette Competition was held at the Home Hill State School Performing Arts Centre on the evening of Wednesday, November 1.
Competitors, Year 6 students, were to deliver a persuasive speech on a factual topic associated with an area of school study. Students were adjudicated on the content, language use and delivery of their speech. The 11 competitors from five local Primary schools presented topics that ranged from the different impacts of technological advances to the power of speech.
The winner was Asha Licciardello from St. Francis Catholic Primary School, Ayr.
Asha spoke eloquently on Mental Health, a School’s Biggest Downfall, persuading the audience that mental health must be addressed in schools. Through the strategies taught to achieve and maintain self-confidence and self-worth, “one student at a time, in every school”, our community would become a happier, more productive and happier place.
