Organized by Mrs. Catherine Dias and the Educational Sub-committee.
The competition will be organized under 7 age groups: 4-5 years, 6-7 years, 8-9 years, 10-11 years, 12-13 years, 14-15 years and 16-17 years to give a fair chance to all participants. Once the completed entry forms are received and the number of entries known, a preliminary round may be held to shortlist the finalists.
Distinguished Toastmaster Mr. MV Jose will address all the participants and brief them, with a demonstration, as to what is expected of them. This will help the children and motivate them to do well, while at the same time inculcate confidence in them and a sense of healthy competition.
Short cultural items (songs, dances, instrumental music) will be held between each category competition to give the judges time to tally their mark-sheets, as well as to add to the gaiety of the evening and promote Goan culture. A certificates will be given to each participant and prizes will be awarded to the first two or three winners in each category.
The wholehearted cooperation of all our GCO parents is solicited to encourage their children to participate and benefit from this event and thereby foster their development.

Further to the entry form for the GCO Elocution Competition sent earlier, we wish to inform our GCO children who fall under Category V (i.e. 14 to 17 years age group) that they can still send in their entry form, latest by Sunday 26th October.
We have done this to encourage them to participate, in view of the forthcoming Diwali holidays which will give them time to prepare their speech. Following are the topics on which they can speak:
Goa – My native place
Smoking – An evil vice
Water – The source of life
Environmental Pollution – Causes and Prevention
Youth – The future of tomorrow
Values make a man
Please encourage your children to participate and send in the entry form to
