Stage 3 Multicultural Public Speaking Competition 2023

The multicultural perspectives Public Speaking Competition encourages primary school students to explore ideas of multiculturalism in Australia while they practise their public speaking skills and improve their confidence.

Two students from Stage 3 (Year 5 and Year 6) will be selected to represent Yarrawarrah Public School at the local Multicultural Perspectives Public Speaking final. There will be a $20 entry fee for the 2 students selected.

Students who make it to the competition stage will present both a prepared speech and an impromptu speech. For their prepared speech, contestants must choose a topic from the list above. The prepared speech must convey a multicultural message. The impromptu speech topic will be on a general, non-multicultural theme, and contestants will have 5 minutes to write their impromptu speeches, starting with only blank palm cards and paper.

This competition is NOT part of the whole school public speaking competition and is being offered as an optional, extension opportunity for students with a talent for public speaking. Please advise whether your child will or will not be partaking in this opportunity.
