About this Event

Today’s high school students are bright, capable, and full of ideas. But in a world dominated by screens many struggle to express themselves confidently face-to-face.

Finding Your Voice has been delivered in high schools across Perth since 2021, helping thousands of students overcome public speaking nerves and develop powerful communication skills.

In this high-energy, interactive school holiday workshop, students learn practical techniques to build confidence and speak clearly in presentations, assemblies, debates and oral exams.

The workshop is led by secondary teacher, professional emcee and former Channel 9 News presenter Adrian Alaberg, who combines professional speaking experience with engaging, practical strategies to help students communicate with confidence.
