St Joseph's Catholic Primary School, Trafalgar students recently participated in the Lions Club public speaking competition.
Students from grades four to six were competed in the annual event held at the school. Students were tasked with writing a speech on an iconic person in their lives.
The grade four and five students' criteria was to choose a book or film character they identified with, while grade six students were to choose an inspirational person in their lives.
The school had 11 participants stand up in front of their peers, judges and a cast of onlookers from the school community as they delivered their presentations.
At the conclusion of the event, despite the stellar effort by all, a winner for each age group was awarded.
The grade four prize went to Lilly Harvey for her presentation of Roald Dahl's Matilda and the grade six winner was Tahlia Pedemont for her moving tribute to her mum.
Both Lilly and Tahlia have since represented St Joseph's in the second round of competition where their presentations were pitted against entrants from other schools.
Lilly again took out the win with her presentation and will now go onto the third round of competition this month.
