Public Speaking Contest – Burnaby District Literacy
 

Public Speaking Contest

Grade 7 Public Speaking Challenge

 

Since 1983, hundreds of grade 7 students throughout the district have taken part in the district public speaking competition. Each student goes through school-based qualifying before advancing to zone  competitions. From there, two students from each zone advance to the district finals.   

Here is the information on the 2019/20 Public Speaking Contest!

Please ensure that your speech is appropriate for a K-7 pubic audience – carefully consider your content and use of tone. 

If you search Youtube, there are some video clips that previous public speaking participants have posted.
