Public Speaking

” If you can speak, you can influence. If you can influence, you can change lives.” Rob Brown.

With these words in heart, Iphutheng Primary School started participating in public speaking this year 2024. Our learners wrote creative speeches that left both the audience and teachers in tears and informed.

We competed within our circuit where we took 1st position in grade 1 and grade 4 and 2nd position in Grade 5.

As a school we host our own in-house public speaking event where our learners competed among themselves. We invited Norwood Primary School as our twinning school to be part of our judge panel.

Through speaking we aim to change the world around us.
