On the 20th August, Natalie C, Alex S and I went to St Monica’s North Parramatta school hall with the rest of Year 6 to represent our school in the Voice of Youth cluster finals. There were four schools including our own in the Parramatta cluster and three representatives from each school including St Monica’s, St Mary’s Rydalmere and Christ the King North Rocks. All three of us had put a lot of effort into writing and learning the speeches. Alex’s speech was titled ‘Cake’, Natalie’s was titled ‘Water Wastage’ and mine was titled ’Superheroes’. Everyone says that public speaking is nerve-wracking, but in my opinion it was really fun!

I was never a public speaker. I get very nervous if I have to talk, and spend a lot of time being silent. But of course my older brother Harry made it through into the Voice Of Youth so I had to try and match him. I could never write a serious speech, and if I did I wouldn’t be able to say it with a straight face. So I picked the humorous topic of cake. I wanted to just talk about how much I love cake, but the fact is you can’t make that 2 minutes long. So my speech on the facts on cake was created. I know that my speech wasn’t the winner, but it was still the best. And I got to get up and talk about cake, which is fine by me!

At St Monica’s 4 schools gathered in a hall. There were 12 cluster finalists including 3 representatives from St Bernadette’s. I Natalie, a cluster finalist, represented St Bernadette’s with my Voice of Youth speech ‘Water Wastage’. On the 20th of August, I stand up with the microphone at my mouth, palm cards in my hands while students are staring at me. I begin. Minutes are passing. I say thank you as I feel a huge amount of weight is lifted off my shoulders.

This morning, our school community gathered for a very special Whole School Mass, during which seven of our students received the Sacrament of Baptism. Surrounded by their families, teachers and peers, these children took an important step in their faith journey, welcomed with joy into the family of God. It was a beautiful and moving celebration, filled with prayer, song and the warmth of community. We congratulate our newly baptised students on this significant occasion.
