Public Speaking and Oral Presentation Workshops

Empower your students to find their voice and thrive in any setting with our engaging workshops.

Designed specifically for high school students, these sessions provide invaluable skills that extend far beyond the classroom.

Led by experienced facilitators, our workshops focus on building confidence, clarity, and connection. Through interactive activities and tailored coaching, students will learn how to structure compelling arguments, present with poise, and adapt their delivery to engage any audience.

Whether you're preparing students for academic assessments or simply helping them develop lifelong communication skills, these workshops provide the perfect opportunity to inspire, upskill, and empower the leaders of tomorrow.

Ideal for:

  • VCE Oral Presentation Preparation

  • Debating Teams

  • General Public Speaking Skill Development

As educators, we are expected to stand and speak in front of our students and colleagues in our day-to-day roles.

For our students, this can be one of the most daunting and stressful experiences of their high school journey, and the same can be said for many adults in the workforce.

75% of people have a fear of public speaking.

If you do the maths, this means that in your class of 25 students, approximately 19 of them (18.75 to be exact) may find the idea of speaking in front of their peers deeply uncomfortable.

Our public speaking and oral presentation workshops are designed to support students to embrace this discomfort, know how to prepare and practice and feel confident and certain in their delivery.
