6th Form Pupils Win South Somerset Public Speaking Competition

On Wednesday night, two King’s public speaking teams travelled to St. Dunstan’s School in Glastonbury for the Rotary Club Youth Speaks Local Competition.

Against a strong showing from the St. Dunstan’s groups, all of the King’s team members spoke with passion and eloquence. Narnia, Callum and Kiara (all in the Lower 6^th Form) gave a strong speech on the dangers of modern advertising, narrowly missing out on the runners-up position.

The winning team of Holly, Anna and Sam (also all Lower 6^th Form) performed magnificently with a powerful speech which enthralled the room. They were rewarded with certificates, book tokens and the South Somerset trophy. Holly, Anna & Sam have been invited to the next round of the competition which will take place in Street in February. My congratulations to every pupil involved; they were a credit to King's.
