On Friday 19th June, Courtney J represented St Francis Catholic College in the Grand Final of the CSDA (Catholic Schools’ Debating Association) Public Speaking Competition. 

Courtney, a Year 9 student at SFCC, was entered in the Year 10 competition and competed against 12 other students in the Zone Finals. 

She presented an engaging and thought provoking speech based on the topic, “When Things Fall Apart.” 

Courtney should be congratulated on the commitment and dedication she has maintained throughout the competition.

Four places were awarded out of the 12 students in the Final and we are very excited to announce that Courtney was awarded third place representing at Year 10 level. 

Well done, Courtney!
