DEBATING & PUBLIC SPEAKING
On Wednesday the 19th of October, John Therry Catholic College Debating Students and Year 12 College Leaders attended the Speech Craft Day at Macarthur Anglican School.
Speech Craft assisted us in advancing the way we present ourselves while publicly speaking and it was run by the National Institute of Dramatic Arts (NIDA). It took us through a range of workshops that taught us how to articulate our words, have the correct body language,maintain eye contact and enhance personal attributes through a range of different strategies.
The day ultimately taught us to be confident in ourselves and what we say, and that our actions speak louder than our words. As a group, we had a new found passion for public speaking through the workshops that we completed.
Overall, the day was a complete success that has allowed us to gain new skills that will contribute to future public speaking opportunities. We thank Miss Pedder, Ms Roet, NIDA, and the staff at Macarthur Anglican School for providing us with this rewarding opportunity.
Year 12 College Leaders, and the Debating Team.
