Public Speaking
The annual Public Speaking takes place during the first term. We
are participating against Keurhof, Daeraad, and Oom Paul School. We
follow the guidelines and the topics of the ATKV Public Speaking.
Learners are coached to speak with confidence in front of an
audience. Learners are also sensitised to have an opinion on specific issues and must be able to convince people of their opinion.
The confidence that the learners gain by participating in Public
Speaking is priceless. There is a great camaraderie
among the learners who participate in Public Speaking
they feel a mutual accomplishment of being part of such a
challenging event. It is also important to realise that an activity
like Public Speaking gives the “non-athletic” learner the chance
to excel.
