Rutherglen Rotary, Public Speaking competition

On Wednesday 27th of November, students from Years 9 and 11 represented RHS at the annual Rutherglen Rotary Public Speaking Competition, held at the Rutherglen Golf Club.

Year 9 students Eily Taylor, Ebony Brunskill-Mills and Zoe Richey spoke in the junior section. The group covered a variety of topics including ‘Youth Justice,’ ‘Vegan Activism’ and ‘Climate Change.’ All three students spoke exceptionally well and received very positive feedback from the judges and audience. Zoe Richey was awarded first place in the junior section of the competition.

In the senior section, Isabella Brooks, Jai Hymus and Maggie McGhee addressed the audience on the topics of ‘Large Vehicle Tax,’ ‘The Advanced Games’ and ‘Social Media.’ The senior speakers were outstanding and proved very difficult for judges to separate. Whilst they were all highly commended, it was Maggie McGhee who was awarded first place.

Congratulations to all of our students who presented on the night. They did an exceptional job representing our school and we are very proud of their efforts.
