Congratulations to Natalie Viegas '22 who this past weekend participated in the National Public Speaking competition at St. Johns Ravenscourt School in Winnipeg - via Zoom. Natalie qualified to be part of the BC team as a result of her performances at the Provincial Public speaking competition in November.
In this time of COVID, competitions are now being held via Zoom with persuasive and interpretive speeches being submitted and judged asynchronously and debate and impromptu being held synchronously. The synchronous portion of the competition was hosted by St. Johns Ravenscourt School in Winnipeg which meant for a very early 7:30am. Vancouver start time on Saturday. Natalie, in competition with the top students in the country made it all the way to two finals – impromptu and interpretative which were held on Sunday. Well done Natalie!
