The Multicultural Perspectives Public Speaking Competition has been encouraging primary school students to explore ideas of multiculturalism in Australia, as well as giving them a place to practice their public speaking skills and improve their confidence. The competition is open to all NSW government primary schools and has two different age divisions – one for Years 3 and 4 students and one for Years 5 and 6 students.
In 2018 more than 2,000 students from all across NSW participated.
Visit the Multicultural Perspective Public Speaking Competition page on The Arts Unit website for more information.

The speakers from years 3 and 4 present both a 3 minute prepared speech on multiculturalism and a 1 minute impromptu speech on an unseen topic following just 5 minutes of preparation time. Congratulations to all twelve speakers and to everyone who took part in the competition this year.
