[Voice of Brightonians] From shy to stage-ready: How Brighton builds confident public speakers

Our Senior School pupil Dieu Anh once had little experience with public speaking, but since joining the College, she has found a supportive environment that empowers her to take the stage with confidence. A clear highlight of her remarkable progress was being selected as one of the seven speakers at the BrightTalk Evening event.

“I have changed a lot since I joined Brighton College Vietnam. Academically, I’ve gained a wealth of new knowledge and skills. But more importantly, I’ve grown mentally and socially,” she shared.

“There were two things I rarely did at my old school: public speaking and sports. But here at Brighton, I’ve found a nurturing space where I can take part in a wide variety of activities without fear of failure or hesitation.” 

At Brighton College Vietnam, pupils are actively encouraged to participate in a range of co-curricular activities, including sports, arts, academics. These aim to enhance the overall development of our pupils, helping them build essential life skills, explore new interests, and thrive both inside and outside the classroom.
