Do I need to write out my whole oral presentation ?

Actually, the less you have written out and the more you speak from your 
knowledge-base, the better. The note cards should have clues or reminders of 
what you want to say. However, you should practice what you are going to say 
so that the presentation "flows" and you don't forget what you want to say. 
The idea is to impress the judges with your knowledge rather than with your 
reading ability.

Do I need a prayer in my oral presentation?

There is no prayer required in the 2008 Oral Presentation. There is however a 
requirement to tell how the topic you choose can promote a Christian Social 
Justice Principle.

How should I get in touch with my advisor?

Write a note and have Mrs. Dubray or your homeroom teacher put it into the 
advisor's mailbox. You can also write the advisor a note in the journal which 
she/he will read each week. When you first meet with your advisor get an idea 
of which days are best to meet. Most teachers have meetings on Thursday 
afternoon. Mornings are usually good but you need to have your driver agree 
to leave early.
