Parliament of NSW’s 2025 Regional Public Speaking Competition State Final

You are invited attend the Parliament of NSW’s 2025 Regional Public Speaking Competition State Final from 11:00am – 2:00pm on Friday 5 December 2025 in the Legislative Council Chamber.

This year’s regional rounds were held in Grafton, Queanbeyan, Tamworth, Griffith, Cessnock, and Orange, showcasing some of the most talented secondary school students from across New South Wales.

Join us to hear speeches from six outstanding finalists. Each participant will present a six-minute prepared speech, followed by a three-minute impromptu speech on one of three topics revealed on the day.

Note: You will not be required to stay for the duration of the competition – we will allow people to leave and enter in between speeches to minimise disruption. Walk-ins accommodated where capacity allows.
