Public speaking success

Pretty Beach Public School student Isabella Sanasi will be attending the regional finals of the Multicultural Public Speaking Competition in September, following success in the Hunter Central Coast Division.

The school had four students compete in the Hunter Central Coast Division.

The students were Jessica McCarthy and Sarah Farnon in the Years 3 and 4 session and Isabella Sanasi and Hollie Granville in the Years 5 and 6 session.

All four students had to give a prepared speech on a topic relating to multiculturalism, as well as an impromptu speech on a topic for which they were only given five minutes notice.

Jessica's prepared speech was "Multiculturalism starts at home".

Sarah spoke on "Say no Racism".

Isabella's topic was "Multiculturalism- what's the alternative?" while Hollie spoke on "Many Faiths, a Shared Community".

Isabella will now go onto the regional final to be held in Newcastle in September
