Secondary English Elocution Competition 2018

The Secondary School English Elocution Competition is an eagerly awaited annual event. 16 students make the cut to represent their houses in the competition after a long and challenging rounds of auditioning.

The judges for the event were Mr. Gary Holston, Geography and Science teacher in the Middle school, Ms. Suneet Gandhi, Head of the English Dept. [International Curriculum.] Ms. Nausheen Shaikh, Drama teacher for the Primary and Middle School.

In terms of the competition, our goal is ,for each student to choose poems, internalize their meaning, and then share them with an audience. Recitation is neither acting, nor narration, but can be found somewhere between the two. As they prepare their recitations, students are encouraged to keep our contest evaluation criteria in mind.

• Accuracy
• Physical presence
• Voice and articulation
• Evidence of understanding
• Overall performance

The choice of the poems recited kept the audience captivated and entertained
