This year’s theme inspired the students to think about the effects of having too much of a good thing. They shared their ideas about having too much sleep, money, power and free time.
Before the winning speeches were announced, presenter and organizer of the JSC School Round Juliette Kempen emphasized that in fact all contestants were winners. It is not an easy task to present your ideas logically and convincingly in front of a large group of people, but although some of the contestants had to overcome their nervousness, they all gave a great speech! This experience will increase their confidence which will definitely help them in their future studies and jobs.
The winning speeches were given by 2nd year students Wissal Mephtah (Philips van Horne) and Huib Baetsen (Het College) and 3rd year students Lotte van Helmond (Het College) and Aase Wip (Philips van Horne). The four of them will represent the TTO-department of LVO Weert in the regional round of JSC 2015.
