On the 11 March, Grace in Year 11 took part in the GDST Chrystall Prize public speaking competition at Streatham & Clapham High School.

Grace did a great job and represented Blackheath High brilliantly. Being one of 5 in the finals was a superb achievement and she was really proud to be part of it. Suhani from Sheffield High School was the overall winner on the day and Grace was really happy for her. 

The judges commended Grace on sensitively and appropriately updating her speech to include the war in Ukraine for her subject ‘Is the pen still mightier than the sword’. 

Well done, Grace!
