On 11th February, two teams of Myton students took part in the Rotary Club Youth Speaks competition at St Nicholas’ Church, Warwick. This is a public speaking competition and teams are made up of a chairperson, a main speaker and a proposer of a vote of thanks.

Our teams rehearsed for many hours to learn their speeches, ensuring that they abided by the strict protocols. The Intermediate team (Sam, Freddie and Hasan) chose the topic of ‘Art for Art’s Sake’ and engaged the audience by exploring why painting, drama and music is important in our lives. Our Senior team (Connie, Rue and Louis) discussed sibling rivalry.

Both teams were fabulous and did Myton proud, with many members of the audience commenting on how our teams were their favourites because they were refreshingly creative, highly engaging and confident. Well done!
