Public Speaking, Presentation and Debate Skills Masterclass for Years 6–8
- Zoom (Online Masterclass)
Does your child get anxious speaking in front of others?
Strong communication skills are essential for success, yet many students receive little formal training in these essential skills.
The difference between communication expectations and actual preparation can lead to lower confidence and missed opportunities. Hi, I am Cassidy Goldblatt, Strategist and Director of Product at Crimson. Join me in this masterclass where your child builds expert-level communication skills that support classroom success, leadership, and strong foundations for future university readiness.
In This Webinar, You'll Learn:
- Core public speaking and communication skills that every student should develop early
- How to present and speak with confidence in academic and social settings
- An introduction to debate and structured argumentation
- Practical strategies for engaging any audience
- Ways to build a strong foundation for secondary school success and future leadership
- More about Rise, Crimson's premier university preparatory system for students aged 11-14.
