Celebrating the impact of the Junior Public Speaking Program, students from St Anne’s College in Kialla, Sacred Heart Primary in Tatura, Peranbin Primary College in Baddaginnie, and Wilmot Road Primary in Shepparton gathered at Bourchier Street Primary.

They showcased their skills, confidence, and passion for public speaking at a recent event organised by Lions Clubs Australia. The program helps young people find their voice, build self-esteem, and develop communication skills, setting them up for a bright future.

News photographer Rechelle Zammit was there to capture the inspiring moments.
