Great to hear the diverse views at the Speakers Club today. The education system has changeds so much in the past 20 years, and from what i heard today it has changed by and large for the better. More choice, more focus on skills and critical thinking.

Thanks to the speakers for preparing such interesting speeches.

one thing i forgot to mention in my speech today is the ability to focus, attend and concentrate for extended periods of time. The HSC & higher educationallows people to practice thinking about & working on one subject at a time for longer than a few minutes.

Newcastle Speakers Club again gave us an entertaining meeting and positive learning experience. Thought I'd share an important point we all learnt today - to never leave the chair, if you need to then another chairman needs to be brought in!

Newcastle Speakers Club is a very pleasant way to enjoy a light lunch on Wednesdays, whilst listening to interesting and entertaining speeches. This topic was something we can all relate to! It was a relief for young people to learn that the HSC is not the be all and end all, and that one's career aspirations can still me met, even if your HSC result isn't as good as you wanted it to be.

Yet another interesting Speakers Club meeting - I learnt a number of issues relating to the current HSC and realised how far we have come since my HSC!
