On Wednesday 26th August, Jacqueline and Joshua from Year 9 participated in the 2020 MISA Youth of the Year Competition.
In keeping with social distancing guidelines, this year’s competition was held virtually over Zoom.
This prestigious and challenging competition involved both students being engaged in an interview with a panel made up of members from the Campbelltown Toastmasters Club, where they were engaged in a conversation for approximately five minutes about issues such as religion, social, educational and political events in Australia and the world at the present time.
The students then presented 3-minute speeches from a topic of their choice drawn from current everyday life. Joshua and Jacqueline decided to focus on Australia’s new media laws and the economic impact of COVID-19.
Both students performed extremely well and, although they did not place, they should be very proud of their achievements.
