Ryedale speakers tackle subjects with enthusiasm during tough competition

Year seven and nine students competed in the annual Pickering Rotary Club ‘Youth Speaks’ competition at Lady Lumley’s School, recently. Representing year nine this year was Ethan Hawtin, Harry McMurray and Ruben Loggie and year seven was Joshua Brookes, Charlie Wright and Madison Wilkinson. Year nine spoke about “Escapism in Modern Society” and year seven about superstitions. All the teams spoke very well and tackled their subject matter with enthusiasm and careful thought. It was a hard fought competition with Ryedale conceding defeat to St Augustine’s School, Scarborough.
