Daniel Bursey made the Impromptu Final and the Debating final.

Matthew De Jager made the Persuasive Speaking final and the Interpretive reading final.

All six boys placed in the top twenty speakers. Four of the boys have made the South African team: Samuel Clarke, Matthew De Jager, Noah Macnab and Daniel Bursey. They will be competing in Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia in April of 2025.

 

Two of these boys placed in the top three: Matthew De Jager placed third overall, and Samuel Clarke placed first and was therefore the National Champion of 2024. We can be very proud of this achievement.

 

Thanks must go to Mrs Schultz-Mofokeng, Ben Anderson and Caden Chuang for training the team, and to Alaric Hobbs and Mrs Schultz-Mofokeng for accompanying the team and adjudicating in East London.
