Rostrum: Celebrating Public Speaking

This week, our Year 4-6 students took to the stage for the much-anticipated Rostrum public speaking competition, and what an impressive showcase it was! Held on Tuesday, the event saw 11 confident students present their speeches to a captivated audience in the hall.

Rostrum is a renowned public speaking competition across the ACT, and our students demonstrated exceptional skill and poise as they addressed their peers, teachers, and adjudicators. The ability to speak with clarity, express ideas confidently, and engage an audience is a valuable life skill, and our students certainly showed they are up to the challenge.

We are proud to announce that the runner-up for 2025 was Eloise Sabin (Year 5), while the winner was Neve Ingram-Glass (Year 6). Neve will go on to represent Holy Trinity in the quarter-finals in the coming months, and we are all cheering her on as she takes the next step in this exciting journey.

The speeches covered a wide range of topics, from personal experiences to thought-provoking ideas, and each student delivered with passion and conviction. It was clear that their hard work and preparation paid off, and their growing confidence in public speaking was evident for all to see.

We congratulate all our participants for their outstanding efforts and thank them for sharing their voices with us. 

Well done, everyone!
