For this competition, Abbygael needed to write a 3-4 minute speech based on one of a list of topics. The topic she chose was "when it is dark enough, you can see the stars".

Her speech is a beautiful metaphorical approach to how stars have inspired humanity throughout time. Her sophisticated use of language, combined with her impressive delievery, has left her adjudicators completely awe-struck.

We wish this passionate student every luck for the upcoming Grand Final - Go Abbygael!
