Perhaps the most notable aspect was that speakers from the small rural school Kaeo Primary placed first and second in the year 6 category. The school has not previously taken part in the competition. Their speeches were real, heartfelt and charming.
Well done to all the teachers and pupils who participated this year and presented to such a high standard.
