ARTISTIC RHETORICAL SPEECH IN THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE (FORENSICS)



Pupils from our school take part in the distinguished National Competition of Artistic and Rhetoric Speech in the English language (FORENSICS), in which, over the last 15 years, they have been extremely successful, even though they have competed alongside pupils from American and English collges from Athens and Thessaloniki, like ACS Anatolia, The Arsakeio  School, Thessaloniki, Byron Schools, Campion, Ekpedeftiki Anagennisi, HAEF - Kollegio Athinon - Psichikou, Ekpedeftiria Gitona, Ekpedeftiria Costea - Geitona, Ekpedeftiria Mandoulides, ISA, Scholi Moraitis, Ekpedeftiria Nea Genia Ziridis, Pierce, Pinewood, St Catherine’s, St Lawrence.

Our School’s FORENSICS group has been awarded on many occasions with  first place and distinctions at national level. It is worth mentioning that the school won 1st place and the gold cup at national level five times (1996, 2001, 2003, 2004, 2007) and 2nd and 3rd places in 2002 and 2005 respectively. In addition our pupils were among the best in various categories.

There is a program for the pupils’ preparation for their participation in the national tournament of FORENSICS. Pupils practise the arts of reasoning and exhortative speech necessary for original oratory, prepare for impromptu speaking, dramatic and comic oral interpretation of literature and dramatic and comic duets.
