Year 12 - Talk the Talk Day

On Thursday 10th July, everyone in Year 12 took part in our annual ‘Talk the Talk’ day. The aim of the day is to help students develop their confidence in communicating. Delivered by expert trainers, the workshops encouraged students to articulate their ideas clearly, and express themselves effectively in a formal setting - perfect for preparing them for job or university interviews!

Throughout the day, students explored techniques to structure speeches, connect with an audience and overcome nerves. These skills are not only essential for academic success but vital life skills, which will support students as we prepare them to navigate the world beyond Ruislip High School.

This is the fourth year running these workshops, as we understand how nerve wracking public speaking can feel. We were delighted to see so many students stepping out of their comfort zones to give presenting a go, whilst listening to feedback given to them by the trainers. We are incredibly proud of their enthusiasm and can-do attitudes.

Thank you to the ‘Talk the Talk’ team for delivering a fantastic set of workshops for our students.
