In a resounding victory at the Leinster Final of the Knights of St Columbanus Public Speaking Competition, our Senior Public Speaking team has emerged triumphant, sparking waves of celebration throughout our school! The team, consisting of Eimear Corr, Emily Fitzsimons, Jessica Smith, and Cillian Ryan, showcased their exceptional oratory skills as they passionately addressed the pressing issue of Poverty in Ireland.
Their eloquence and conviction not only secured them the top honours at the Leinster Final but also earned them the opportunity to represent our school at the prestigious National All Ireland Final. With their sights set on this next challenge, our students are poised to make their mark on the national stage.
This achievement is a testament to the hard work, dedication, and talent of our students. Beyond the thrill of victory, their participation in public speaking cultivates confidence and hones essential skills for their future endeavours.
We also extend our congratulations to their teachers, Chaplain Sean Wright and English teacher Ms. Hughes, whose unwavering guidance and support have played a pivotal role in preparing our team for this remarkable achievement.
As we celebrate this win, we hope their trophy which we will put on display may serve as inspiration, encouraging more students to explore the transformative power of public speaking and embrace their own passions.
Congratulations to our Senior Public Speaking team on this well-deserved victory and we wish them the best as they embark on the next chapter of their journey.
