ROTARY Willetton encourages Year 10 contestants to enter the first round of their next public speaking competition in September, following a successful state final at the Royal Perth Golf Club last month.
On April 18, more than 130 people listened to four Rotary Four Way Test Speaking Competition contestants.
They each spoke for five minutes on a topic they felt was current, interesting and important and their speech had to include reference to the Rotary Four Way Test.
The Four Way Test challenges speakers to consider if what they say is true, fair, builds goodwill and beneficial to all concerned.
