Cadets showcase public speaking skills at annual competition

By Helenka Bernard

Cadets from the Lloyd Sparky Squadron demonstrated confidence and strong public speaking skills during their annual Effective Speaking competition held this week.

Cadets delivered prepared speeches on a range of thoughtful topics, including “What does leadership mean to you, and how have you demonstrated it?” and “What is your dream job, and how is the Air Cadet program preparing you for this job?” Judges noted that all participants showed a high level of preparation and effort throughout the competition.
