Toastmajors (3-5) by Wind & Tide NEW

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.

Please view this video for a better description here.

Students strengthen their public speaking skills by learning how to organize and deliver effective speeches, engage audiences, and communicate with confidence. Min: 6 & Max: 17 students

Step 4: Report Absences - It is the parents responsibility to remind their children(s) of their enrollment and participation in the after school program. On the day of the program, all registered children(s) must gather at the gym after the bell rings and report to the volunteer. Walton PAC, program instructors, and school don't have the capabilities to search school premises for any unaccounted children(s). If your child will be absent for any reason, please fill out our absence form by 2PM on the day of the program. Please fill out this form even if your child was not at school the day of the absence. This will ensure instructors do not waste class time determining where an absent child is before starting class.

Report Absence

Without parent volunteers, we won't be able to offer and run the program successfully. Thank you for volunteering your time. We are seeking 2 parent volunteers each day.
