Inter House Junior Elocution Competition

When God made us, he put talents in everyone alike. But then why is that only some people excel in sports, some in music, some in dance, and some in academics, some in art and some in oratory? The way of unearthing talents is different for each. But then public speaking is one of the many talents which is hidden in each but surfaces only in few. Through this Inter house competitions we at Oakridge want to bring out the hidden talent of the students and this is what the Motto of our school says Discover the Treasure within.

Students were made to select any one of the following topics and speak for two minutes.

1. FIRST IMPRESSION IS THE BEST IMPRESSION 

2. PROFICIENCY CREATES EFFICIENCY
