Diverse student speakers make an impact
The Rotary Club of Auckland Harbourside recently sponsored and judged the annual speech competition at Southern Cross Campus in Mangere, NZ. This is a great opportunity for college students from years 9 to 13 to gain confidence and express their views across a variety of interesting topics.
The young group presented speeches ranging from “Social media - does it destroy human connection?” and “Bucket list - the three things you must do before you leave school” to “The Rugby World Cup - was it worth it?”.
To judge such a talented and diverse group of speakers was challenging, but Past President David Wong said: “It was inspiring to see young kids from South Auckland passionate about their subjects. Obviously they spent a lot of quality time researching their topics and rehearsing in front of the mirror. It’s great to support a good college in this way.”
