Achievements in Public Speaking Competitions
In recognition of the budding talents in public speaking among Fairsians, the English Language Department identifies and registers students to participate in national and inter-school public speaking competitions such as the YMCA Plain English Speaking Awards (PESA) and National Public Speaking Competition (NPSC) every year.
Students are given close guidance in writing their own original speeches for the competitions, and they receive feedback on how to improve and prepare for the competitions.
