Last night, Alexis and Bella (Rhodes, Upper Fifth) hosted the annual Dangerous Minds competition, an event designed to encourage pupils to think creatively and showcase their public speaking skills. Seven speakers competed head-to-head with their “dangerous” propositions, tackling debates on topics such as policing, mental health, neurodiversity, and AI.
The audience was also treated to a stunning musical performance by Kitty W., Grace J., Coco B., and Vivi G-A. (Martlet Upper Fifth and Lower Sixth), who performed Adele’s ‘Make You Feel My Love’.
While all the speakers — Dexter G. (Lower Sixth), Coco B. (Upper Fifth), Bertie H. (Upper Sixth), Zoe G. (Upper Fifth), Madeleine R. (Upper Sixth), Alex R. (Upper Sixth), and Brandon G. (Upper Sixth) — delivered fantastic presentations, Mrs Price and Mr Newman faced the tough task of selecting a winner.
Ultimately, it was Zoe G. who took home the Henry Hunt Trophy for Public Speaking, delivering a thought-provoking and emotive speech exploring the question: “Is neurodiversity the future?”
Congratulations Zoe!
