Year 10 students Lauren Ritchie and Deepali Rajawat will be representing the college and Mandurah City Rotary Club.

The speech contest is Australia-wide and requires students to speak about a topic they are passionate about.

They must address the following questions: is it the truth, is it fair to all concerned, will it build goodwill and will it be beneficial to all concerned?

Deepali’s speech is on her experiences with racism and how it feels like a shadow that follows her everywhere.
