On the 6 June Rotary Caroline Springs Members attended the Wynspeak final at Thomas Carr College.
6 June was the WynSpeak Final at Thomas Carr College. In its 20th anniversary of WynSpeak that was started by Des O’Shanassy as a pilot between two schools. What a great program in public speaking.
This year 142 students from 46 schools from the the western suburbs competed over 8 heats. Eighteen students spoke with eloquence, style, passion and vigour on a range of topics from misogyny, manners, gift of a second chance to the concept of how it would be if kids ran the country and the power and fear of AI.

Rotary Caroline Springs are proud to have been a part of this Rotary Project in public speaking with Rotary Club of Hoppers Crossing, Rotary Club of Altona City and Rotary Club of Bacchus Marsh. We encourage more schools to join and tap the talent of your students. We can learn so much from such young talents.
This event could not have taken place if not for the generous support of sponsors Shutter Tech Australia, Bendigo bank, Coogee Chemicals, West Gate Tunnel Project and to Toastmasters for providing adjudication.
Just so you know Rotary's volunteers and the schools made this happen.
