For Judges

List of 3 items.

  • What is the role of the judge and what do they do?

    Each competitor needs to provide the name of one adult who can act as a judge. This judge can be anyone from their school community, not necessarily their public speaking coach. Examples of this can be their coach, their teacher, their counsellor, their Advisor, someone in their school administration or a family member or family friend. The judge can support up to three students. The purpose is to ensure that the students will have their speeches seen at least three times. 

    In December 2024, the judge will receive a list of students with their video links as well as ballots. The judge is then asked to watch, give the speech a mark and, if desired, provide comments. The time commitment will be two hours spread over one week.
  • What if I forget to judge the students?

    Unfortunately, if the judge does not complete the judging, the students that are affiliated with that judge will be disqualified.
  • What if I can't make the deadline?

LAND ACKNOWLEDGMENT
We wish to acknowledge this land on which Branksome operates. For thousands of years, it has been the traditional land of the Wendat, the Seneca, and most recently, the Mississaugas of the Credit River. Today, this meeting place is still the home to many Indigenous peoples from across Turtle Island and we are grateful to have the opportunity to work and go to school on this land.*

*The Land Acknowledgement may evolve as we honour our commitment to Truth and Reconciliation in partnership with Indigenous communities.

Setting the new standard for girls' education everywhere takes collective action. From all of us.
