On the 22nd of April we all left school early and headed to Loreto Dalkey for an exciting day of public speaking and debating.
On arrival we met many other Loreto teams. At 1pm the Junior Public Speaking took place followed by the Senior Public Speaking, in which Catriona O’Brien was runner up. Congratulations Catriona.
Then came the big event of the day the Debating Final which we had worked all year to reach! Here we met our rivals Loreto Clonmel. We were delighted when the results were announced – we won.
Overall it was a fabulous day and I was delighted to be part of it. We all learnt a lot by taking part and really enjoyed the day.
We’d also like to thank Ms. Hogan for all her support throughout the year.
