The Intermediates' Speech Finals

The Moa team sat down to listen to highly polished speeches from the year 7 and 8 students about how charities and people can make a difference. We enjoyed topics like:

• Make a wish foundation from Kacie; 
• Pedal power not petrol power from Ally; 
• Sheep need drugs from Sarah; 
• Deforestation from Taylor; 
• Making a difference about the health of NZ from Sophie;
• Risks of diabetes from Zane; 
• and a convincing argument against animal testing from Olivia.

It was exciting to have our ideas challenged, as well as being asked to think in new ways about everyday topics. We were also given ways we could make a difference personally.

 We concluded by announcing the the speech winners. The 2013 year seven winner was Zane Tomlinson and Ally Taylor the year eight winner. The winner of West Melton Senior Speech Cup was Zane Tomlinson. 

We want thank Mr and Mrs Overton for their judging and important feedback and congratulate all the year seven and eight finalists for their fantastic speeches.
