Students in Years 3 to 10 from Parkes, Forbes, Condobolin, Lake Cargelligo, Bathurst, Orange, Cowra, Cobar, Warren, Narromine, Bourke Tottenham, Cumnock and Trundle gathered at Trundle CWA Hall on 17th June to participate in the CWA Intergroup Public Speaking.
This annual competition highlights the public speaking skills of students in Far Western, Oxley and Central Western CWA Groups. Each Group holds their own competition for students within their Group areas. Only four students per section are selected to go to the Inter Group competition.
ARTC Inland Rail’s generous support of the CWA Inter Group competition encourages the participation of hundreds of students across these three CWA groups.
Public speaking skills help students to develop their confidence, resilience, relationships, independence and interpersonal skills.
The judges were Greg O’Malley, CWA State Vice President, Jan Kerr from Canowindra and CWA State Executive representing Oxley Group, Robyn Miller from Forbes.
CWA State Vice President, Jan Kerr said, “It’s really pleasing to see the depth and extent of research competitors have put into their presentations. It really did make it difficult to select a winner”. Congratulations to all students who participated on the day.
