PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT
In order to build confidence and enhance the School Council candidates’ delivery of their manifestos for the elections during the first week of November, Ms Laws and Ms McNulty held master classes in school this week.
The students read out excerpts from a range of Shakespeare’s plays. Ms Laws acted out a model example of successful speech making, whilst Ms McNulty demonstrated the way not to deliver a speech.
Top tips such as voice projection, maintaining eye contact with the audience, resisting the urge to fidget, and so on were given. The students also watched a video tutorial from a professional voice coach.
Our boys were very pleased to have been given the opportunity to take part in the master classes, not just in terms of their forthcoming speeches but to call upon as a lifelong skill.
Best of luck to all our candidates in the forthcoming elections. ...
