Inter House Speech Competition
“I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never
forget how you made them feel." — Maya Angelou
Last Wednesday 8 brave students faced the 410 strong student audience and two judges to persuade them to their way of thinking. Adam and Amanda from The Hits radio gave up their time to judge this fierce competition, and they were impressed! The lucky first speaker was Brooke Gilmour with her speech on why we should not smoke. It is never easy to go first however Brooke set the standard very high with her speech. Connor Parker, Jack Madden, and Jenna Cook represented the Year 8s and Dayna Peachey, Maggie Elers, Lyrique Sheppard-Lowe and Carlos Aaron represented the Year 7s. Carlos Aaron must be commended for presenting some of his speech in Te Reo Māori, the first time since this competition started that we have had a bilingual approach. The overall standard was very high and all speakers should feel very proud of their presentations. Overall results will be announced in Celebration Assembly next week. Thank you to our judges Amanda and Adam and thank to you our audience who listened respectfully for the whole assembly.

AFTER SCHOOL ART - Emma, Gilbert and Ngahuia are creating a Galaxy T-shirt during the After-School Art class which winds up this week for Term 2. Classes are held every Tuesday or Thursday from 3pm - 4.30pm. Students get to explore a range of media over the 6 weeks with a one-off charge of $5 going towards materials used. Places are strictly limited to 15 students per session so if your child is interested please be sure to have them watch the morning notices in week 1 of the new term inviting them to get a permission slip from the office. First in with the paid and signed permission slip gets a place. We ask that if your child has done this class already this year please wait and give others a chance first, then in week 2 second-time students can join.
