Lawrence Campbell Oratory Competition

This long-standing public speaking event features one representative speaker from each of the GPS and CAS schools. Each participant faces the formidable challenge of delivering an 8-minute speech on an unseen topic with only 15 minutes to prepare.

Hugo’s topic was “the superfluous, a very necessary thing.” In his speech, he eloquently argued the significance of remembering and learning from our shared history, asserting that reflecting on the past is far from superfluous. Hugo's performance earned him second place, and he was praised by the adjudicators for his natural and confident speaking style and his strong connection to the topic. Congratulations to Hugo on this outstanding achievement.
