@SHHSforGirls have just been announced as the London Regional Champions of @theESU's Public Speaking Competition!! Manon, Olivia and Charlotte, we are absolutely delighted and we can't wait to watch you perform in the National Final! 🥳

[SHHS Debating @SHHSdebating]

HUGE congratulations to Sophia and Olivia, WINNERS of the Gold Final at UCL Juniors!! Superb performances on behalf of @SHHSforGirls! 👏👏👏

[SHHS Debating @SHHSdebating]

This is so true! The buzz and excitement when students compete in person is simply irreplaceable; a Zoom room of muted black squares just doesn’t come close. Hoping that @lsesudebate’s junior competition stays in person in January, as scheduled - our first since March 2020!

@VickyBingham @SHHSforGirls It was an all-girl final, as it happens! Two teams from CLSG and one from SPGS.

Good luck to the three @SHHSforGirls teams competing at UCL Juniors today! The first motion: ‘This house believes that the rise of K-pop has done more harm than good’.

Delighted that an @SHHSforGirls team has made it through to Round 2 of @theESU's Public Speaking Competition! Well done to Emma (Chair), Sophie (Questioner) & Chiara (Speaker). Chiara's great speech was on the topic: 'Any book worth banning is a book worth reading'. 👏🥳

Proud to be working at a school where this could happen - it was a privilege to be able to talk directly to the whole school on the importance of free speech
