Four local students took part in the annual speaking competition – Jessica Quintieri and Franky Tucker from St Thomas’ and Mitchell Gale and Kahlia from Mareeba State School – where they each presented speeches on a variety of different topics.
Judges, Patti Crothers and Fay McGrath, were so impressed with the calibre of presentations and how the participants met the degree of complexity challenge in the topic development criteria. Both judges highly commended all the students.
With the help of their men-tor and Mareeba State School teacher, Zena Coyle, it was Kahlia who named the overall winner and Mitchell receiving the encouragement award.
All students were com-mended for their efforts by the Rotary Club of Mareeba.
