Young Speaker Spotlight 2026
Every great speaker begins with the courage to take the first step.
Selected as finalists through Edgefield Primary School’s Speak Up! 2026, our young speakers went on to proudly represent the school at the YMCA Plain English Speaking Awards 2026. Through their speeches, they shared meaningful ideas with confidence, sincerity and authenticity, while embracing the values of plain English: clarity, personal voice, aptness, sincerity and engagement.
Their journey is a reminder that every opportunity to speak is an opportunity to learn, grow and inspire others. We are immensely proud of the dedication, resilience and confidence they demonstrated throughout the experience.
Congratulations to all our Speak Up! 2026 finalists and thank you for representing Edgefield Primary School with pride. We hope your journey inspires many more young voices to step up, speak up and shine.
