St Thomas More High School

Jack Petchey 'Speak Out' Competition

Congratulations to Jake Watts for his fine performance in the regional finals of the Speak Out competition. His speech really stood out for its sophistication and its complex, perfectly crafted ideas. He spoke about “the illusion of power”.

It may not have been to the taste of the judges, who seemed to favour the more light-hearted, humorous speech, but it certainly stood out as the most thoughtful and philosophical speech. He did himself and the school proud! Well done Jake! Mr Griffin, Head of RE.
