April 25, 2024An Oscar-Themed Farewell: Celebrating Grade Eleven’s Journey at River Oaks Academy
April 26, 2024Shining with continued success at Oratory and Ramadan Competitions
River Oaks Academy, known for nurturing oratory talent, recently showcased its prowess not only in external competitions but also in its own halls, hosting and excelling in declamation contests. Following the notable successes of Omer Eusaf and Yeshmira Yousuf in inter-school competitions, the academy continued its tradition of oratory excellence by participating in the Alpha Ramadan Contest and hosting its own declamation event.
At the Alpha Ramadan Contest, River Oaks students competed against peers from various schools, demonstrating their ability to articulate ideas with clarity and conviction. The event, themed around cultural and religious topics, provided a platform for students to engage with significant issues while honing their public speaking skills. The participation of River Oaks in this contest underscored the school’s commitment to promoting a holistic educational experience, integrating academic learning with cultural and religious understanding.
Back at home, River Oaks organized its own declamation contest, offering students a chance to shine in the familiar environment of their school. This event not only fostered a sense of school spirit and community but also allowed students to practice and display their oratory skills in front of their peers and teachers. The in-house competition served as a nurturing ground for budding speakers, preparing them for larger platforms and reinforcing the school’s reputation as a cradle for developing effective communicators.
The dual participation of River Oaks Academy in both the external Alpha Ramadan Contest and its own declamation event highlights the institution’s dynamic approach to education. It reflects a commitment to providing diverse opportunities for students to develop their talents and to express themselves confidently in various forums.
These events, internal and external, are instrumental in cultivating a culture of excellence in public speaking at River Oaks. They offer students not just a stage to perform but a community to engage with, learn from, and grow together. Through these platforms, River Oaks Academy continues to affirm its status as an institution that values and advances the art of declamation, preparing students to be not only future leaders but also impactful orators.
