Rotary fosters and supports the application of the ideals of
service in pursuit of all vocations. Clubs are encouraged to participate
in The Four Way Test, Pride of Workmanship and other vocational based
programs.
This program promotes high standards of Vocational Service, with special
opportunities for employers to recognise worthy employees whose efforts
might otherwise go unnoticed. Its ultimate aim is to raise Australia’s
standards in the workplace. 
The Speech contest aims to:
• provide Year 11 students with the opportunity to compete in public
speaking;
• bring the concepts of the Rotary 'Four Way Test' to the attention
of secondary
• students; and
• provide Rotary and its 'Four Way Test' with valuable exposure
within the community
Any year 10 student is eligible to enter the contest by applying through
their local Rotary Club. Note: that by the time students participate in
zone and district finals they will be in year 11. Any topic may be chosen
but the speech must refer to the Rotary Four Way Test and centre around
any one of the components of the test. Each speech is to be a maximum
of six minutes.  |
