Laerskool Westgold Primary School proved their excellence in public speaking after recently winning the District Level Public Speaking Competition for the third time.

Not only is it Westgold’s third time winning the competition, but it is also the second consecutive year that they have brought the trophy home.

According to school spokesperson Mariska du Plessis, their success story started on August 4 when the team confidently secured first place at the circuit round. Building on that success, they impressed the judges at the district level with their teamwork and stage presence.

The winning team members are Tshegofatso Taye, Kamogelo Sixpence and Precious Nyanga.

Mariska added that Westgold also won the award for Best Written Speech, which was written by educator Mariska Viljoen, who coached the team to success. Educator Lerato Moriri supported the team and contributed to the excellent achievement.

“With this victory, Westgold Primary continues to set the standard for excellence in public speaking, inspiring learners to develop confidence and strong communication skills. Westgold is very proud of you,” Mariska concluded.
