On Thursday 26th January 2012, Horbury & Ossett Phoenix Rotary Club held it's annual Youth Speaks Competition at Heath Cottage Hotel in Dewsbury for the George Owen trophy.  Two local high schools, Horbury School and Ossett Academy sent teams to make presentations on the topic "Are your parents your best role model?"
 
Both teams put forward some challenging views about who they might look up to and why.
 
The Ossett team of Oli Lloyd, Carley Green and Lauren Cotterill,  supported by teachers Rachael Thompson and Jo Standbury, came out on top, narrowly beating the Horbury trio of Josh Mellard, Michael Brown and Tamsin Scott.  The Horbury staff , Ibby Brown and Kim Voyce, were rightly proud of their team, for the quality of their argument and presentational skills but it is the Ossett team that will take their presentation to the Rotary District Final in Fulford on 8th March.
