Public Speaking Night
Corpus Christi College Public Speaking Night 2024: A Triumph of Talent and Preparation
We are thrilled to share the highlights from our recent Public Speaking Night, held on July 21, 2024. This annual event, a testament to our students' dedication and hard work, showcased their semester-long preparation in a friendly and competitive atmosphere.
A Night of Stellar Performances
Our students took to the stage with confidence, delivering speeches that ranged from thought-provoking to inspiring. Each participant demonstrated not only their public speaking skills but also their ability to engage and captivate an audience. The evening was a celebration of their progress and achievements throughout the semester.
Special Guest Speaker
Adding to the excitement of the night, we were honoured to host an exceptional guest speaker who brought a unique twist to the evening. Known for their quick wit and humor, Dr Stephen Platt delighted the audience with a comedy impromptu performance. This unexpected and entertaining segment left everyone in high spirits and added a memorable touch to the event.
