Toastminors

Toastminors is a unique public speaking program designed for students in Grades 1-3. Classes run one day per week, from September to June with performance events in January and June.

Public speaking is one of the top fears of adults. Confidence in front of a crowd expands academic and career possibilities. Toastminors teaches children to enjoy the art of entertaining a crowd.

In Toastminors, we explore a wide range of presentation forms including debate, explanation, comedy, advertising and storytelling.  Students develop strong skills through the curriculum, games and presentation opportunities.

The Toastminors curriculum focuses on three goals:
1. Public Speaking:
  • speech construction (introduction, body, conclusion)
  • speech delivery (including the 10 ‘keys’ to success)
  • constructing an argument (thesis, supporting points, concluding statements)
  • reading an audience and relating to a crowd

2. Etiquette Training : (public speaking on a small scale)
  • greetings
  • introductions
  • respect
  • listening skills
  • eye contact and body language

3. Leadership Training:
  • listening and encouragement
  • building enthusiasm
  • being a role model
  • teaching and inspiring

Toastmajors

Wind & Tide's Public Speaking Program provides the opportunity for students to continue after successfully completing Toastminors. Offered as a second-year program, our Toastmajors curriculum provides the opportunity to master the skills and key concepts previously covered in Toastminors with a deeper focus on the keys of public speaking, including the introduction to more challenging criteria and speech topics, as well as leadership opportunities.

Toastmajors still complete the Toastminor curriculum, yet it is expanded in terms of their speeches (more independent creation as opposed to guided by a teacher) and includes opportunities to demonstrate and lead within the class. Any new students joining who have not completed Toastminors, are still welcome to register for Toastmajors if they are in grade 3 or higher.
