Public Speaking awards

Team award:

• Manqoba Bungane • Ethan Kalell • Steven Khoury • Bolu Orimoloye • Dale van der Merwe

Half Colours:

• Jason Baylis • Bradley Becker • Mohamed Zidan Cassim • Kabir Misri • Katlego Mokgosi • Colby Skirving • Lukas van der Merwe The school public speakers participated in the annual Public Speaking Festival hosted by the South African Guild of Speech and Drama. Unfortunately, the scheduled in-person events had to be cancelled due to increased Covid-related restrictions at the end of May. They were replaced by video submissions of the various speeches. Our boys quickly adapted to the new medium and exhibited some flair for the screen. Congratulations to all the participants for the exceptional contributions.

Unfortunately, the abovementioned restrictions also limited our annual Best Speakers event. Again the boys had to be assessed based on video submissions. Congratulations to the winners of the competition. They were as follows: • 3rd – Colby Skirving • 2nd – Jason Baylis • 1st – Katlego Mokgosi

Considering their achievements in the various competitions we were proud to award our major annual awards to Nicholas Rautenbach (for Best Junior Speaker) and Jason Baylis (for Best Senior Speaker).
