“Youth Speaks”
On Wednesday January 27th
Bishops Wood Village Hall once again became the platform for the
Public Speaking Competition hosted by Brewood and District Rotary
Club. Six teams took part in the
competition including two schools in Brewood along with last years
winners Thomas Telford School. The evening was a great
success resulting in Brewood Middle School winning the Intermediate
level with their talk on “Facebook”, and St Dominic's School the
Senior level on the topic of “Prayer”.
The judges were all from outside of the Brewood area and expressed their enjoyment at the professionalism in which the participants conducted their speeches.
Brewood Middle School went
on to Market Drayton Festival Hall where they gave a good
performance, but unfortunately as a team they were beaten by St
Edwards Junior School Leek; but, their chairperson Bradley Clemson
did get an award for being the Best Chairperson so Brewood Middle
school did not come home empty handed.
St Dominic's presentation of
Prayer was sadly not able to win them a place in the final, but both
schools will hopefully build on their experience and enter again
for next years Youth Speaks.
