Toastmasters of Rouse Hill

28/10/2026

Big dreams. Tiny steps. One brave voice at a time.

Some moments make you proud in a way that is hard to explain.

Meeting 278 at Rouse Hill Toastmasters was one of them.

We ran a demo contest for Speech Evaluation and Table Topics, a warm-up for our club contest on 9 November

New here? Here is a simple guide 👇

💬 Speech Evaluation: A test speaker gives a speech of about 5 to 7 minutes. Evaluators listen, then give feedback for 2 to 3 minutes. What worked. What can be even better.

🎯 Table Topics: You get a surprise topic. You speak on the spot for 1 to 2 minutes. No script. No prep. Just you and your ideas.

👏 Terry Carter briefed everyone on both contests. Clear rules. Calm minds.

🎤 Then our test speaker, Jazib Farid, gave a speech that touched the room. Our evaluators followed with their feedback. Our Table Topics speakers stepped up and spoke from the heart.

💛 To our evaluators and Table Topics speakers: You did something brave. You did not wait to be ready. You took one tiny step, and it was beautiful to watch. That is how success is built.

🌟 Shaun Premnath then gave a general evaluation of the whole meeting, covering the speech evaluations and the Table Topics speeches. Honest. Kind. Powerful. It will help our contestants take it to the next level.

And there is more to celebrate! 🎉
Tiny steps add up. Rouse Hill Toastmasters Club is now a Smedley Distinguished Club for 2025-26! 🏆

It is the highest level of recognition in the Toastmasters Distinguished Club Program. Clubs earn it by doing well in member learning, membership growth and club operations.

Our Past President, Kobigha Moorthy, and our current President, Liang (Coco) Yu Chen, added it to our club banner. Every member helped earn it. Here is to a club that keeps soaring high!

Now, back to the contest.

To all our contestants: all the best! We believe in you. 🙌

🙏 A big thank you to Jazib Farid for his generous support to our club. Your speech made the evening special.

Stories inspire. Voices connect.

Meeting 272 at Rouse Hill Toastmasters Club had one theme: Speak to Inspire.

We ran a Speakathon. Members gave prepared speeches, one after another. Each one was a project from their Pathways program.

To our Speakathon speakers: You had a goal and a story, and you shared both with heart 💛 . Someone in the room watched you and thought, “I can do that too.” That is what inspiring looks like. Thank you.

We also held an educational session on evaluation and Table Topics judging. Our club contests are on 9 November'26 🏆.

New here? Here is a simple guide 👇

💬 Evaluation: Feedback on a speech. In the Evaluation Contest, a test speaker gives a speech of 5 to 7 minutes. Each contestant listens, then shares what worked and how to make it even better. Judges score how clear, kind and useful the feedback is.

🎯 Table Topics: Speaking on the spot. You get a surprise question. You speak for 1 to 2 minutes. No script. No prep. Just you and your ideas. In the Table Topics Contest, judges score content, delivery, language and timing.

And now, the moment that made us smile. 🎉

Congratulations to Sreenidhi and Sarah on finishing Level 1!🏅Every big speaker starts with a first step. You took yours with pride. We are proud of you.

At Toastmasters, every step forward gets a cheer. ❤️

📅 Next meeting: 26th October’26

Happy New Toastmasters Year! Rouse Hill Toastmasters conducted Meeting 267 on the 13 July 2026. We also moved to our new venue, Rouse Hill Community Centre. And wow, the space is amazing! We actually have a speaking stage.

We had 2 guests, Jazib from Parramatta Toastmasters and Dean from Quakers Hill Toastmasters. Jazib delivered a speech about his bridge climb, which was very emphatic and Dean taught us how to be an effective evaluator.

We thought our members were excited, but we had close to 20 visitors in the room. We thank the visitors for being present (shoutout to a member for bringing her entire family to the meeting!)

We like to thank ,in particular
for the continued support in the last 5 years and aiding us to empower the community to become more effective communicators and leaders.
