Houldsworth House triumphed in both the Intermediate and Senior Inter House Public Speaking Competitions. The Houldsworth Intermediate trio of Cara Sinnett, Amy McLeod and Gemma Muir produced strong speeches to edge the Curran group of Paige McLelland, Nicole Busby and Stuart Murphy. The senior event proved to be a titanic struggle between Clyde Valley’s public-speaking ‘big-hitters’. Niamh Speirs, Liam Dunnachie and Raina Owens were Houldsworth’s winning three, finishing just ahead of Claire Megahy, Leah Grant and Aaron McArthur. Cara Sinnett was crowned this year’s Intermediate winner with a serious and poignant tribute to her friends entitled ‘The Warped Reflections’. Liam Dunnachie delivered a masterful performance with ‘Aspire’, a comical speech with a serious subject. Its main objective was to raise awareness of the charity, ‘Aspire’. Dedicated to raising funds for people with spinal injuries, Liam has been a supporter of the charity for many years.
