Public Speaking & Debate (Years 5–10)Build Confidence. Think Clearly. Speak With Impact.
Public Speaking & Debate is an engaging multi-day workshop designed to help students become more confident, capable, and effective communicators.
Students can attend 1, 2, or all 3 days, with each day focusing on a different aspect of public speaking, debating, discussion, and impromptu communication. Whether students join for a single day or the full programme, they will participate in practical, high-energy activities that strengthen speaking confidence, critical thinking, and communication skills.
Through speeches, debates, discussion activities, presentation coaching, and impromptu challenges, students learn how to organise ideas clearly, think on their feet, express opinions respectfully, and communicate with greater confidence and presence.
This programme is ideal for students wanting to improve school presentations, leadership skills, debating ability, classroom confidence, and everyday communication.
Students are grouped in age-appropriate groups to ensure activities are engaging, supportive, and appropriately challenging.
Importantly, every day is different. Students who have attended previous workshops will continue developing new skills through fresh activities, challenges, topics, and speaking formats.
