ACS Public Speaking is always a thoroughly entertaining and thought provoking evening. Please join us and support our wonderful speakers. Details for the evening are below:
2017 Host: Westbourne Grammar School
Date: Monday 28 August 2017
Time: 5.00 pm – 7.45 pm
Venue: Westbourne Grammar School, 300 Sayers Rd, Truganina
Parking: Please enter via Marquands Road, Truganina and immediately turn right into the car park adjacent the soccer field.
Rationale:
To encourage audience numbers and to enable both staff and students to hear all of the speeches, the evening will run in three parts. All students and all staff are encouraged to be there from the start of the evening regardless of when they may be participating. It would be appreciated if they could also stay for the duration of the competition. This will reduce movement and maximise the audience. Punctuality is essential if the time-frame is to work.
