| Every year the school
engaged in the process that led to sending students to
compete in the Royal Canadian Legion's Public Speaking
Competition in the Legion Hall. The process began at
the class level involving children in all three
divisions. Time was spent in class in the
preparation and presentation of speeches and then
in-school public speaking competitions were held in the
gym. The winners from each division went on to
compete with students from other area schools for the
prizes offered at the Legion. The Legion's website explains the program. "The goal of the Public Speaking Contest, part of the Legion's Youth and Education program, is to give young people an opportunity to speak in public. Students are allowed to choose their own topics for the contest. A 3-5 minute original speech is required for all Grade 1 to 9 students and a 5-7 minute speech for all Grade 10-12 students. Competitors advance through Branch, Zone, District levels to the final Provincial Contest. The contest is divided into 4 different divisions according to grade levels: Grades 1-3, Grades 4-6, Grades 7-9 and grades 10-12. " February 25th, 1991
