Congratulations to Bailey and Marshall, this year's winners of the 2015 Bathurst Regional NAIDOC Public Speaking Competition, which was held at South Bathurst Public School on Monday 22 June.
Bailey and Marshall who were accompanied by Mrs Hayes competed against other public school students from Lithgow, Mudgee, and Bathurst where they delivered a speech on this year's NAIDOC Theme: "We all Stand on Sacred Ground- Learn, Respect and Celebrate". The boys worked hard to research their topic and put together a 4-minute speech that was both engaging and relevant. They also learnt a selection of Wiradyuri language to acknowledge the traditional custodians of the land.
The boys were each awarded with a framed Bullroarer for their accomplishment as well as a didgeridoo for the school. They will now progress to the Public Speaking Finals to be held in Dubbo later this year. Bailey and Marshall should be very proud of their achievement and the way they represented our school, their families, and the Bathurst region.
