The Sydney Morning Herald recently published an article about the fear of public speaking. The article shared that Chapman University in the USA published a survey that cited the fear of public speaking to be just behind a fear of sharks and ahead of a fear of snakes and spiders. In the UK, fear of public speaking was the third most common fear after a fear of heights and spiders.1

During 2021, exams throughout NSW and the ACT were again disrupted at various times due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Government-enforced lockdowns were experienced in many regions during the year which meant that teachers and their students had to change their usual approach to lessons and their exams. Teachers had varying levels of access to conduct online lessons via Skype and Zoom and in many cases, exams were unavoidably cancelled, or exam preparation had to be adapted to enable students to present for a Video Repertoire exam.
