Watch Te Ariki's Prepared speech for the Nga Manu Korero Speech Competition 2015.
In September 2015, Te Ariki Te Puni won the prestigious Korimako Trophy at the 50th celebration of the Nga Manu Korero Speech competition for his speech, ‘Dream It, Believe It, Achieve It’.
The Korimako contest was sponsored originally by a former Governor General, Sir Bernard Fergusson, Lord Ballantrae, whose express aim was to encourage among Maori pupils a greater command and fluency in the use of spoken English.
The judges described his speech as ‘powerful with substantive ideas’ and noted that he is a ‘composed orator who is skilled and articulate’.
Te Ariki also performed a three minute Impromptu speech ‘Why is ICT so Important to Everyday Life’ which he received 1st place for and received another magnificent trophy.
Te Ariki has certainly put PNBHS in the spotlight across the whole of NZ and his efforts will enhance and grow the reputation of Maori students at our school where we know that ‘Nothing (is) Achieved Without Hard Work’.
These two speeches also won Te Ariki Dux Artium for 2015 at the PNBHS School Prizegiving.
Te Ariki, we are all extremely proud of you. Congratulations.
