Mary Ward Inter-school Public Speaking Competition for KS3 pupils




The College was very proud to host the Mary Ward Inter-school Public Speaking Competition for KS3 pupils.  This is an annual competition  between Loreto College Coleraine and our sister school, Loreto Grammar School Omagh. Competitors are required to prepare a short speech on a given topic.  The topics for the speeches always reflect the core values of a Loreto Education and our foundress Mary Ward.  The competition is a wonderful example of the Loreto ethos in action and  a lovely opportunity for pupils from both schools to meet in person and enjoy each other’s company. The prize winners were :


Year 8 :
