Judges Needed
 Saturday, April 25 8:30 a.m. - 2:30 p.m. Lunch and refreshments will be provided. Contact Tracy Dalglish.
Working in teams, judges will evaluate the performances of participants from independent and public schools over three rounds of public speaking. No experience is necessary and training will be provided to judges before the tournament begins. This competition was founded in honour of the late Nora McRae, a much-admired teacher in Branksome's English Department. It gives Ontario students the opportunity to practice the type of speeches that are used in national and international competitions. |
