Winners announced for the 6th Greek Public Speaking Festival

·

The Modern Greek Teachers’ Association of Victoria (MGTAV) has announced the winners of the 6th Greek Public Speaking Festival.

The Festival is an opportunity for children, regardless of their language level, to enjoy and use the Greek language. The competition is open to all students studying Greek.

The Greek Public Speaking Festival consists of two sections:

  1. Recitation of Poetry or Literature: The students recite selected poems or extracts of literary works of some of the great Greek poet and writers
  2. The Demostheneia: Students prepare a speech on a chosen topic and present it within the time limit set for their year level.

All participants receive a certificate, as well as medals and awards for placing 1st, 2nd or 3rd. This year the MGTAV had over 100 entries from students in both primary and high school from all school sectors – government, non-government and community schools.

The awards ceremony was held at Axion Estin in Northcote on October 24 where students were awarded for their excellent efforts. It was a lovely night with parents, teachers, guardians and participants present.
