Drum roll please.........

We have just held our Senior HQ speech finals today in the meeting space.  Selected class finalists from Mrs G, Mrs B and Mrs Moore's classes were chosen to present and what a high standard they demonstrated!  The teachers had a tough time picking the top Year 7s and the top Year 8s.  With one student away today and yet to present, we haven't finalised our top 3 Year 7s.  We can however announce the Year 8 finalists:

1st place - Rahil Udin with his speech on 'Grown ups are a weird species!'
2nd place - Mia Anderson with her speech on 'Social media should be banned for under 13 year olds'
3rd place - Isaac Wilson with his speech on 'Grown ups are a weird species!'

Rahil will present his speech as the first place winner this Thursday night in our school hall at the Riccarton Rotary Speech inter-school competition.  We wish him all the very best!

Year 7s will be announced later this week.  Watch this space!  Congratulations to all our finalists - you should be very proud of yourself and your amazing ability to entertain, persuade and stand in front of so many people and speak confidently.  You certainly wow'd us!
