If you’re looking for something with more complex content, you may want to give our Presentation Skills Lions program a try!
Term Focuses
Our Leopards program changes every term, meaning that there is something different to focus on throughout the school year – in particular, students will cover the following in 2024:
- Term #1 – Speech Structure and how to prepare a presentation;
- Term #2 – Storytelling and the art of telling an engaging narrative;
- Term #3 – Speaking Manner and how different techniques can help persuades audiences; and
- Term #4 – Descriptive Speeches that inform your audience.
While it’s recommended that students try each of these focuses, and the emphases change each year, there is no particular need to start with any of them, meaning students are welcome to join at any time!
