Our Thematic Group Speaking Team with Adjudicator
Another HUGE congratulations to our Thematic Group Speaking Team, this year coached by Mr Richard. They earned their fourth WINNER in as many years in this difficult category at the Speech Festival, scoring 87.
Our team coach designed the witty theme of "First Place for Second Place", incorporating different texts (including Bible text, Shakespeare, song lyrics, legal text, expository article and his own dramatic writing), to convey the meaning, through a 13-min act, that sometimes being second is better than being first! The originality of this theme was well recognized by the adjudicator, who was also impressed by our team's vocal and acting qualities, as well as the overall arrangements.
Again, very proud of our boys' and teachers' effort to bring our school honours and recognition. Being second isn't always bad but surely, this afternoon, getting the trophy was their best reward!
