This year too, Queensland Old Royalist Association (QORA) is expected to spend approximately Rs.12,000 for each student to improve communication skills of rural children entering Royal College at Grade 6 and living in the school’s hostel.
The programme is delivered by the Wendy Whatmore Academy of Speech and Drama (WWA).
This programme, which began in 2020, has continued despite constant disruptions to education with schools closed for extended periods. This year’s intake consists of 61 children from 45 Divisional Secretariats and 15 Districts.
For QORA it is important that every child from a rural area entering Royal College should be fully cared for and made equal to other students in his class.
After observing how their inability to converse in English fluently effect their confidence—on rare instances for life—QORA resolved that their contribution should go into improving communication skills eventually leading to produce youth full of confidence and self-assertiveness.
According to the Warden of the Royal College Hostel there are around 360 students residing in the hostel, from all parts of the country.
