Our Lady Of Lourdes Shines At Frank Fraser Lecturette Finals

Our Lady of Lourdes students have once again demonstrated their outstanding public speaking skills at the annual Frank Fraser Lecturette District Final, held on 16 October and hosted by Ingham State School. Sponsored by Rotary, the event brought together talented young speakers from across the district to showcase their confidence, preparation, and creativity.

Representing Our Lady of Lourdes were Asha Goldfinch, Ruby Gori and Cianne Lyons, who each delivered carefully crafted speeches that reflected their strong communication skills and thoughtful perspectives. The judges faced a difficult task, with every student presenting their work to an exceptionally high standard.

In a proud moment for the school, Cianne was announced as the 2026 Frank Fraser Lecturette Competition winner for her inspiring speech titled “The Power of Positive Thinking.” Her performance captivated both the audience and the judging panel, earning well-deserved praise.

Staff and families played an important role in supporting the students’ success, with special thanks extended to Ms Phillips, Mr Cianciullo, and Mrs Quabba for their guidance and encouragement throughout the preparation process.

The school congratulates all three students on their dedication, confidence, and success in representing Our Lady of Lourdes with pride and excellence.
