Public Speaking & Debate for ages 8-12, led by Nick Gell - NIDA-trained actor and professional MC.

A practical, confidence-building class for kids who want to get better at speaking in front of others - from class presentations and public speaking competitions to debating and everyday conversations.

Through games, speaking challenges and beginner debates, kids learn how to organise their ideas, make a convincing argument and speak clearly and confidently without needing everything prepared in advance.

The focus is on giving things a go: learning how to think on your feet, back up an opinion and become more comfortable speaking in front of a group.

The class runs weekly - children can come every week for ongoing development to build real skills, or come with something specific in mind.

Dates: Wednesdays 3:45 - 4:45pm

Ages: 8-12

Max: 12 students

Price: $30 per session

What to expect: Speech structure and delivery · Persuasive speaking · Impromptu challenges · Beginner debating and rebuttal · Thinking on your feet · Supportive small-group practice
