In 1998 Werribee
Toastmasters International commenced a Youth Leadership program with Westbourne
Grammar School’s Year 11 and 12 students, a program that after 20 years is
still running successfully.
Wendy Powell and May
Wilson, two of the original WTM team that commenced the program in 1998 are
still continuing the good work.
Wendy says: “The
students are always enthusiastic in preparing and presenting speeches and evaluations.
Their level of Evaluation is excellent and at a standard that would stand-up
well at any Toastmasters meeting.
At the last meeting of
each course, students invite other teachers and parents and have never failed
to impress in demonstrating their abilities.
Looking back, 20 years
seems a long time, but May and I wouldn’t have missed the experience of
bringing the Youth Leadership program to Westbourne Grammar’s young people”.
In addition to the
above, Wendy is introducing the Youth Leadership Program to the Point Cook
Senior College, with the initial TM meeting commencing 23rd April
2018.
And of course Wendy
and May also run the Youth Leadership program at Altona’s Seaholme Primary
School.
Well done and
congratulations Wendy and May on your joint, long standing and continuing
effort of helping to enhance the speaking skills and self-confidence of young
people in Melbourne’s West.
