There are numerous opportunities to speak, debate, perform, or use technology to aid in the presentations of others. Performances can be “large group,” or “individual,” and are chosen by the student/s under the coaching of Mr. Ripley & Mrs. Engelkes.

Our Large Group season runs from November – February and our Individual season runs from January – March. We have a kick-off meeting in October and are present at the annual Club Fair.
