Public Speaking is a very important part of Veritas College’s Cultural Programme. Learners who are involved in this programme benefit both academically and within themselves as researching the topics and creating the speeches is a big part of being a Public Speaker.

Debating is another section of the Veritas College cultural programme that helps enhance a learners ability to speak and think clearly thus helping them to develop invaluable skills. Debating is held in the afternoons usually after the One-Act Plays have finished. Classes are held to teach pupils how to debate and enable them to practise their debating skills.

The One-Act Plays are chosen, directed and acted by the learners themselves. No assistance is provided by staff other than co-ordination and advice if needed. Directors are chosen from the older learners and those directors are responsible for the entire play, including the choice of play,the cast, costumes and rehearsals. The learners gain wonderful experience and have loads of fun.

This dynamic form of poetry is for those who enjoy writing and performing their own poetry. It is for those who have rhythm and performing skills.

We have a Marimba band and we also  offer Piano lessons on a private basis at our Music Centre (Preparatory Campus) working through the Royal Schools of Music, London. Both theory and practical are offered.
