'Speak Out Challenge' Victory for St Ignatius

13 February 2025

We were honoured to host the Jack Petchy ‘Speak Out Challenge’ regional finals here on Monday. The evening showcased the talents of 15 young speakers from schools all over Enfield whose journeys had started when they participated in workshops delivered by The Speakers Trust in their own schools.

It was no small feat delivering their speeches to a panel of 7 discerning judges as well as a large audience and we applaud of all of the participants for presenting themselves so well.

We are very proud of our Year 10 students who took part; Adam Ravatt winning the competition and Demir Seyranoglu coming third. Adam’s performance will now go through to the semi final selection day where the judges decide who goes through to the grand final in July where they perform to an audience of over 1000 people!

Thought provoking. As part of our Magis curriculum, our Year 7 students went to see Pig Heart Boy at London's Unicorn Theatre. It prompted some very interesting conversations. pic.twitter.com/0uIdKlC7or
