Public Speaking, Debating and Media Literacy

Nov 21, 2025 | 2025 Archive, Public Speaking

The public speaking cohort have been developing their persuasive writing and speaking skills by writing motions for and against a topic and presenting arguments and rebuttals in a structured debate.

 They have taken on the role of a newspaper reporter, writing newsworthy reports and sharing them in a simulated newsroom environment.  

 This week the group conducted research into educational topics to create episodes for a podcast.

 While the focus has been on developing strong public speaking skills and confidence to speak in public, there has also been an emphasis on media literacy: including investigating bias, and using reliable sources.
