On Monday last week, Anusha for Y5 represented Greswold at the very first Solihull Schools Public Speaking Competition. She delivered a four minute speech on the topic of how she sees advanced technology making the world a better place. The judges included the past Mayor of Solihull, the Chief Executive of Solihull MBC and a Deputy Lieutenant (who represent His Majesty The King). The certificates and prizes were awarded by the current Mayor.

The competition was officiated and organised by Solihull and District Soroptimists whose Competition Secretary emailed, following the competition, to say:

On behalf of the Education Group of SI Solihull, I would like to thank you for taking part in our Solihull Schools Speaking Competition on Monday.
Despite the heat, we had a wonderful afternoon and heard from eight young people, giving their speeches on topics that really interested them.  One of the Judges has written to us and said “All the young people truly represented the very best of what Solihull has to offer, articulate, passionate and confident”.  We all felt the same!  Please give your student this message and they certainly were a credit to your school.
We are hoping to run the competition next year and hopefully you will be able to support it again.

Greswold is so proud of Anusha for showing her self-confidence and personality along with high standards of knowledge, content, expression and presentation. Well done, Anusha.
