Public Speaking

Public Speaking is a skill which is valued and fostered at Wellington College and we have a record of success in competitions. In 2017 Fahri Agam won the regional Race Unity Sppech competition, in 2016 Nick Webster won the regional title in the United Nations Speech Competition and went on to be runner-up nationally and in 2018 the national title for this competition was won by Matthew Sutcliffe.  Students are helped to prepare and deliver their speeches for a number of local and national competitions such as the United Nations Secondary Schools Speech Award, Lions Young Speechmaker Competition and the Stockley Cup. 

The Wellington College Speaking Competition takes place in Term 3. All Year 9 to Year 11 students deliver a prepared speech in their English class. For Year 12 and 13 students entry is voluntary. Semifinalists from each class are narrowed down to three or four finalists at junior, intermediate and senior level. Finals will take place at an evening function date TBC
The College Unprepared Speech Competition is open to all senior students and has the advantage of not requiring preparation or study.
