Public Speaking Classes and Opportunities
Last week classes were able to watch the Rostrum Public Speaking heats. We hope girls found this opportunity inspiring as the standard was very high. On 16 March, Pymble will be hosting the NSW state heat. Please contact Mrs Hubbard at BHUbbard@pymblelc.nsw.edu.au if you would like to assist by chairing or timing a heat. Thank you to all girls who auditioned. Results will be out this week. We will have three Juniors and three Seniors progressing.
MUN Conference
Students in Years 9 to 12, please see the Portal notice for details of the MUN conference.
The NSW State Conference for 2022 is coming up soon and positions are limited!
Model United Nations (MUN) is a Mock UN conference activity and a great way to develop negotiation, diplomacy and public speaking skills, as well as learn about international law.
It is also a fantastic opportunity to make new friends with students from all over NSW, all with diverse backgrounds and experiences.
The conference is a fun way to learn about your global community! All are welcome!
The conference will span three days. You will represent a certain country from the United Nations and engage in a series of problem-solving activities and negotiations. The event also includes a brilliant array of workshops and speaker panels.
