The day has come where ‘hipster’, ‘gothic’ and ‘chav’ are all in the past and men’s fashion has had a revolution. It’s no longer the everyday typical suits nor the casual chord trousers on the weekend. Men like to portray a metrosexual look and the wardrobe is becoming more of an imperative object in life.

For any young person the chance to compete in a public speaking competition is a daunting and sometimes terrifying experience but even though only 2 teams went onto the District Finals, hopefully all students who took part will take away something positive from this experience. Next year we...
