Public Speaking and Debating opportunities are a vital contribution to the development of student communication, articulation, cooperation skills and confidence.
Unity Grammar encourages all our students to become actively involved in public speaking. Public speaking allows our students to enhance their communication skills, improve their confidence in speaking in a social environment, motivate our students to speak persuasively and learn to capture the audience’s attention.
Our senior School has two debating teams that compete against other schools in debating. Students are provided with the required training and support for development of the individual and team. In the Junior School, the debating team is mentored by one of our staff and are involved in local competitions.
Within the classroom we also encourage our students to take advantage of any public speaking opportunities and externally against students from other schools. For those students who wish to challenge themselves further, we encourage our students to enter into a range of competitions.
Some of these include the United Nations ‘Speak for the Planet’ and Islamic Schools network competitions. Our students have been very successful in these competitions, with both our girls and boys having won their respective age divisions.
