New after-school social club: Public Speaking and Debating Years 7-10

 Mark Twain famously said: “There are two types of speaker: Those who get nervous and those who are liars.”

The fear of public speaking is, arguably, the number one fear in most of our lives.

There is no career or possible future for our students which will not be enhanced by being taught the core skills of public speaking.

Learning how to construct logical arguments, and how to listen critically to the arguments of others in order to rebut them within a persuasive, civil and mannered exchange is also crucial to our students.

Not only will learning and practising these skills increase their confidence but will also improve their critical thinking and essay writing skills.

Our successful and highly competitive HICES debating teams are taught these skills weekly by coaches from Masters Academy.

We are excited to announce that, for the first time, this year, Emanuel is offering all students a chance to learn from these same experts in a social, non-competitive environment, at Emanuel, after school. 

This 34 week program will provide hands-on, exciting and enjoyable learning experiences for your child. Workshops will begin at 3.45 pm, run for 90 minutes and will be held on Wednesdays after school, with the program commencing in Week 3 of Term 1 and concluding in Week 7 of Term 4.

The cost of each workshop is $20 per session. The 34 week program can be purchased as a full year or half year package, with the full year signups discounted to $18 per session.
