Girls’ School Speech Concert
Girls’ School Speech Concert
August 19, 2016 at 8:39 AM
This week, parents and families were treated to an entertaining evening of poetry, prose and drama at the Girls’ School. The girls who take private speech lessons will be sitting their Trinity College and Speech N.Z examinations over the next week and the concert provided an opportunity for students to showcase their exam pieces.
There was a diverse range of pieces performed, from the younger Year 4 students who will be sitting their exams for the first time this year, to talented performers from Year 8 students aiming for Grade 4.
A range of passages, poems, character and scenes were presented, both humorous and thought-provoking. Everyone left feeling they’d been thoroughly entertained by a talented group of students who relished the opportunity to perform and share their work with an audience!
Well done girls and all the best for your speech exams!
