OppiTong On Friday, 13 October 2023, Franco Rawlinson represented our School at the OppiTong Af National Public Speaking Competition. He competed in the Entertainment Speech category, which tends to be quite difficult as the speaker has to deliver a persuasive, serious topic in a very entertaining way. The topic of his speech was: Failure Should be an Option. Highlighting the advantages and valuable lessons learnt from something we are trying to avoid… failure.
With tight competition Franco held his head high and brought his A game, as he returns to Curro Nelspruit a National winner. Congratulations on this amazing achievement. We are extremely proud of you Franco.
