Success in Rotary Youth Speaks competition

Two teams from d'Overbroeck's College Leckford Place took part in the Rotary Youth Speaks Public Speaking Competition recently. Both teams were a real credit to the College.

Henry Frend entertained the Rotarians with his speech on “Lo-Riding” and amongst other things showed the technique of walking whilst wearing low-slung trousers. He was very well supported by Ellie Arden and Isla Stone. The Year nine team won the competition and go on to the zone final later this week.

Sophia Saban chaired the proceedings, and was picked out as being the best chair of the evening, whilst Laurel Benjamin gave a most entertaining, humorous vote of thanks. Jamie Jackson-Jessel delivered a beautifully ironic speech on the abuse of the word “like”. Well done to all the participants!
