Year 10’s Kelvin Paul gave a very entertaining, eloquent speech on the Art of Procrastination at the Newham Final of The Jack Petchey Speak Out Challenge at Sarah Bonnell School last night, May 2, and came away with third  prize.

He spoke clearly and concisely and the crowd seemed to really like his delivery. 

His trainee and mentor, Ms Corriette was there along with Mr Halliwell to support Kelvin as was Kelvin’s mum.

West Ham MP, Lynn Brown distributed prizes.

Mr Halliwell added: ” I can’t ever remember one of our students being placed in a Speak Out Challenge before so Kelvin has done remarkably well. I was really proud of him as he spoke beautifully and was oozing confidence. Obviously the judges thought so too.”

Kelvin is 15 and in 10 Heath.
