PUPILS from Shoreham College have overcome tough competition to win the area final of the Rotary public speaking competition.
The Shoreham team attended the southern area final of the national Rotary Youthspeak competition on Monday, February 9, when they battled it out with six other southern schools, including Lewes Old Grammar and Oathill Community College.
Shoreham College headmaster Jim Stearns said: "Having made it through to the area final for the first time, I am even more proud of our team and their excellent efforts at qualifying for the district final."
Not only did the Shoreham team win, qualifying them for district final on Saturday, February 28, in Cuckfield, but pupil Taylor Carey was also crowned best speaker of the evening.
