On a crisp February afternoon, a group of Year 6 and 7 students from Notting Hill Prep set off on a journey to Bradfield College for a public speaking competition. The students were eager and nervous, as they knew they would be facing some tough competition.
Upon arrival, they were greeted by the welcoming staff and judges. The students were impressed by the beautiful architecture and the historical significance of the college. They took a moment to take it all in and to mentally prepare themselves for the competition ahead.
The public speaking competition consisted of a variety of topics, from contemporary issues to more light-hearted themes. The students did their best to captivate their audience with their speeches, speaking with confidence and poise. Their passion and dedication was evident, and they truly represented Notting Hill Prep in the best possible way.
There was a high standard of competition and unfortunately the students did not win. However, this did not diminish their efforts and achievements. The judges were impressed by the students’ bravery and determination, and they all received a round of applause for their performances.
The students returned to Notting Hill Prep with their heads held high, proud of what they had accomplished. They may not have won the competition, but they had performed admirably and had done Notting Hill Prep proud. They have learned a great deal about public speaking and have gained valuable experience, which will stand them in good stead for future challenges.
