The Catenians

Public Speaking

For those of you that don’t know, It’s that time of the year when Provinces up and down the country organise Public Speaking competitions for Catholic Sixth Formers. In our modern world it is essential that young people equip themselves with the skills to communicate confidently, clearly and effectively. 

To this end, and organised by local Catenians together with the teachers, family and friends of the entrants in the competition, we are encouraging Catholic schools and colleges across the UK to participate in this important event. 

The Catenian Association National Public Speaking Competition invites students to speak for four minutes for a chance of winning £200 for their school’s charity fund and perhaps to include their participation on their CV for university and their future employment. Each participant will receive a Certificate of Participation and the winner and runners up will each receive a cash prize and a Certificate of Achievement.
