Voices in Verse: A Celebration of Expression at the English Elocution Competition
The Primary School came alive with rhythm, rhyme, and rich expression at this year’s English Elocution Competition, a much-awaited event that gave our young learners a platform to let their voices soar. Divided into two categories—Classes 1 & 2, and Classes 3, 4 & 5—the competition brought together a delightful medley of poems that ranged from the whimsical to the wise.
The youngest group, our Classes 1 and 2 students, charmed the audience with their innocence and enthusiasm. Their bright voices brought simple verses to life, capturing the imagination with every line. Whether it was a poem about a mischievous pet or a curious little neighbour next door, the children delivered their lines with remarkable confidence and infectious joy.
As the competition moved to the older group—Classes 3, 4, and 5—the tone shifted to deeper themes and more pronounced delivery. Students selected poems that made us laugh, think, and even reflect. From light-hearted verses to powerful poems on nature and values, the diversity of content was as impressive as the clarity and poise with which it was presented.
What truly stood out across both groups was the courage and preparation each participant demonstrated. The audience played their part too, listening with attentiveness and cheering with encouragement, creating a space that felt both supportive and celebratory.
The English Elocution Competition gave our young performers a chance to have fun on stage, making the audience smile, and sometimes even giggle!
