Speaking Schools Australasia Spring 2022 Holiday Program

Speaking Schools Australasia is offering a range of fun and educational workshops in debating and public speaking for school students in Kindy to Year 9 in Parramatta, North Sydney, Burwood and Wahroonga over the Spring holiday period. 

Since opening its doors back in 2015, SSA has helped over 15,000+ students improve their speaking skills and develop their confidence.  With an emphasis on small classes, a welcoming environment and plenty of personal feedback from expert coaches, SSA aims to help every student bring their words to life.

The workshops are divided between year group, skill level and topic area to ensure that every student has plenty of opportunities to thrive, regardless of their background.

Speaking Schools takes its key teaching doctrine of ‘learning by doing’ to heart and seeks to ensure that every class is kept small so that every student is given multiple opportunities to speak in a fun and welcoming environment. Every student is also provided with individualised feedback from their experienced and passionate coaches.
