S4 Cluster Toastmaster Workshop and Competition 2022
This year, our P5 girls took part in S4 Cluster Tamil Toastmaster Workshop and Competition. This was organized by our S4 Cluster schools, Radin Mas CC IAEC, Indian Narpani and Singapore Tamil Toastmasters Club. It was first time our Primary 5 girls participating in this competition. After watching briefing videos, students had to come up with their speech based on the given topics. Briefing videos touched on the introduction of spoken skills, how to be a good speaker, how to prepare speech and how to be prepared for impromptu speech. Then they had to record their speech as a video which was sent for the competition. It was an eye-opening experience for the students as it helped build up on their self-confidence.
