For my (Angel) speech I talked about ‘What I would do if I was Prime Minister.’ Some of the reasons for my promotion were that I change some laws including increasing the taxes on alcohol and cigarettes.
I (Emily) spoke about ‘What my favourite holiday destination would be.’ My destination was Fiji. I played music for realistic imagination and images of Fiji. I talked about my one week diary at Fiji. One of the many things I would do there is to go snorkelling.
There were 7 speakers in total, and the winner received additional book vouchers for the school library. All the participants received a book voucher. One of our favourite speeches on the night was a speech on “How to give a bad speech.” We must admit, it was terrible, but indeed very clever!
It was a great night and we are glad to have participated in it.

Below is a report from Kos Psaltis - Rotary's Youth Services Director
A reliable barometer of the quality of guest speakers at meetings is the attentiveness of our members. You could hear a pin drop last week when we were privileged to hear seven Year 6 students deliver their speeches. As in the past, it was a 'feel good' evening. The young people were wonderful ambassadors for their schools - Mimosa Public, Covenant Christian, Wakehurst Public and Belrose Public. This is an important annual event for our club as events like this help nurture youth in becoming good public speakers and, hopefully, one day, some will become Rotarians themselves.
The variety in subject matter made it interesting for the audience. We had everything from holidaying in Fiji to a demonstration of how not to be a public speaker to an aspirational Prime Minister. Environmental and multicultural themes were also included.
It was pleasing to see the participating students supported by their teachers and families and, at the same time, the proceedings were a good advertisement for Belrose Rotary Club and what it stands for.
