Carson Trophy All Senior School students research and craft a speech on a topic that interests them, with the intent to persuade an audience to their point of view. We believe this helps expose young people to the risks of presenting in public and is designed not just to grow their skills, but to grow their confidence. Finalists from each year level are then chosen to compete at an evening event, with the ultimate winner awarded the Carson Trophy.
