Empowering Voices: Rotary Youth Speaks Heat Unveils Remarkable Talent at
The event took place on the 31st of January, 2024, at 6:00 p.m., featuring a diverse array of talent from six participating schools, namely Bury Grammar School, Hawkley Hall High School, Hope Academy, St Edmund Arrowsmith Catholic High School, Didsbury High School, and Tower College.
A Platform for Confidence and Ambition: The Rotary Youth Speaks competition is not just about delivering speeches; it's a transformative experience that builds confidence and ambition in the participants. Public speaking is a skill that transcends the competition setting, preparing young individuals for a future where effective communication is key.
The St Helens District Heat witnessed an array of thought-provoking topics, as each participating school presented their unique perspectives. From Bury Grammar School to Tower College, the speakers delved into issues ranging from social justice and environmental sustainability to education and community development. The diversity of topics showcased the depth of understanding and concern among today's youth.
The teams in the competition represented a broad cross-section of schools, each bringing its own flair and passion to the stage. The event was made possible through District 1285 Rotary Clubs, demonstrating a collective commitment to nurturing the next generation of confident and articulate leaders.
The District Heat at St Helens serves as a stepping stone for the participating teams, leading to the District Finals and ultimately the Grand Final. As the competition progresses, the stakes will get higher, and the young speakers will have the chance to refine their skills and compete at an even more elevated level.
