Padua College was proudly represented at the 2026 Frayne Speech Festival on Friday 7 August by Millie, Indi, Diya, Logan, Cooper, and Abby who showcased exceptional confidence, teamwork and debating skill throughout the day. 

Competing in a series of high-level debates and public speaking rounds, our students consistently demonstrated maturity, critical thinking and the ability to present persuasive arguments with clarity and conviction. Their enthusiasm, preparation and collaborative spirit earned praise from adjudicators and fellow schools alike.

Congratulations to Diya, Logan and Cooper who progressed to the debating grand final and beat St Aloysius from Adelaide.

Congratulations to the team (and their coach Mr Perry) on this outstanding achievement and for representing Padua College with such professionalism and pride.
