Public Speaking

PUBLIC SPEAKING AND DEBATING

"Honest disagreement is often a good sign of progress."
Mahatma Ghandi

Public speaking and debating is an integral part of the curriculum at Derrinallum P-12 College. Participation in public speaking and debating is not just for our senior students but is open to all our students from Years 5 through to Year 12. Throughout the year, students have the opportunity to participate in the following events:

  • Debating Association of Victoria
  • The Warrnambool Eisteddfod
  • Rostrum Voice of Youth
  • Legacy Public Speaking
  • VCAA Plain English Speaking Award

In 2019 Hannah Thompson won the Public Speaking section of the Lion's Youth of the Year at the Derrinallum Hall.

Participation has profound and lasting benefits for students with it's emphasis on critical thinking, developing effective communication skills, and teamwork.  Students also learn the benefits of tolerance, nonviolence and respect for different points of view.
