Parumoana Speech Contest.
Parumoana Speech Contest.
Another vote of appreciation goes to David Knight. The speech contest runs seamlessly every year thanks to his great liaison with Sarah Jennings at Discovery School and his behind the s cenes organisation. The looks of pride on the parents face is a real joy. Just to get to this final the students need to be excellent speakers and they did not disappoint.
Chief Judge Wendy claimed the standard of speeches this year was the highest ever. I know I was very impressed. Thanks to the three adjudicators, Wendy, David and Darryl. Thanks to our official photographer, Graham Craig, for recording this event again and to other Rotarians who supported the event.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
