Cockermouth Rotary Young Speakers' Competition 2025
Cockermouth Rotary Club kindly offer to run an annual competition for the Cockermouth primary schools to enter. It gives pupils in year 6 an opportunity to prepare a speech on a chosen title from four options. The winning speaker from each school then presents their speech to a panel of judges and a winner is chosen. Listening to the winners from the different schools is always an amazing experience as they are always excellent and the children are so confident in their delivery. This year Felix represented our school speaking about his hero - Rob Burrow. He spoke about his life, his achievements and his tragic death at the age of just 41. Felix spoke about the lessons he had learned from Rob and his friend Kevin and the inspiration he had from their lives and the things they had done. At the end of the evening, after we had heard eight speeches, Felix was overjoyed to hear that he was awarded 2nd place. Well done Felix and thank you to Rotary Club for organising another speakers' competition.
