We had eight examiners here on the last weekend of our term, with 96 students taking exams … and now we say goodbye to all these wonderful Gold Medal students.  They’ve worked incredibly hard (and with great good humour and determination!) over the last three years and are leaving us with very high standards of public speaking, an ability to write a well-structured speech and many new and developed life skills.  I am enormously proud of them all – and wish them much happiness and success in life after Out Loud, knowing that their public speaking skills will come into play for them throughout their lives. 
Happy Christmas everyone!  
And as we enter a new decade, Happy New Year!  May 2020 be fulls of challenges and happiness for you all!
