Why speak in shorter sentences?

It’ll force you to slow down.

You’ll reduce & identify filler words more easily.

You’ll simplify the grammar.

Particularly helpful if you’re speaking in a second or third language!

So try keeping those sentences short.

Especially when saying something important.

You’ll be punchier too.

Super.

The school is at the start of an ambitious and exciting journey. You have helped us set the standard for the remainder of the year and further ahead. I hope you will return to the school in the future and inspire subsequent cohorts of MPP students.
