The Minute to Win it Competition!

On Thursday night, all the students in Global Awareness got a chance to compete for the opportunity to win a campaign for their class's Global Awareness Topic. Students have been working hard to create a one minute speech to sell their choices to the judges, and tonight everyone had a fun time presenting their ideas to our judges.

Class 10 chose three topics they wanted to compete for:

Be Kind to Animals:

Gender Inequality:

Hygiene:

All three topics were difficult subjects to reduce to a one minute pitch for their class, and most had several other classes competing for the same campaigns!

The competition was fierce, and Class 10 was awarded the campaign for:
Hygiene!

Students in Class 10 will soon be campaigning for this topic so keep an eye out for blog posts by teams, artwork, and awareness campaigns!

Here is some information on the other two topics this class competed for:
