Debating & Public Speaking

Public speaking is an integral part of the curriculum at Portland Secondary College. The school has representatives in the major competitions, such as Rostrum Voice of Youth and Legacy Junior Public Speaking.

Periodically the college also runs a debating competition which is run primarily by students. These debates are held at junior and senior level and often include Staff vs Student debates or debates against students from another school.

Debating and Public speaking is open to all interested students, whatever their level of experience.
