On Thursday 19th January 2017, the school round of the annual Junior Speaking Contest took place at the Philips van Horne. 11 students from Het College and Philips van Horne competed to find the best public speaker among the 2nd and 3rd year students of each school. This year the theme was "What Broadens Your Horizon?" and students gave their own interpretations of what exactly this meant to each of them. The speeches varied greatly and impressed the judges with their message, relevance to the theme and their excellent command of the English language, which made the judging extremely difficult. The judges finally decided on the 4 winners:
Het College:
Casper Martens (A2FG)
Emkea Krekels (A3G)
Philips van Horne:
Vivian Corbey (H2A)
Sanae Zaaboul (H3A)
Congratulations to the winners and also to all the students who took part in the contest. Well done!
The regional round will take place on Monday 6 February at College Den Hulster in Venlo
