Priscilla, in 1ere 7, won the 1ère competition against incredibly talented orators. Robert came 2nd out of 9, in what was a very impressive performances of 3ème students.
Priscilla, 1ère 7: “Taking part in the declaiming competition was both exciting and stressful. At first, I was reluctant on if I should even partake in the competition but luckily, I had a supportive English teacher that encouraged me to do it. Overall, it was a great experience and I am so ever thankful for being awarded first place. It was an amazing experience and I was lucky enough to be up against 5 other talented and hardworking candidates. In all honesty, this has boosted my confidence even more and has proved to me that I can do anything that I put my mind to. That is the motivational aspect that I strive to always accomplish.”
Robert, 3ème 7: “I just saw my results and I placed 2nd! I wanted to let you know how grateful I am towards this experience and thank you for introducing me to this competition.”
