Taieri College Speech Competition

 
 
 
 
 
Monday 13th October we welcome Taieri College Students for our annual Speech Competition.
 
We had 2 speakers; 
 
Jenny Petegem Thach, her topic is  "On grieving death and celebrating life".
 
Pyper Greer, her topic is "Project cars on Facebook marketplace".
 
Two very difference topics but thought provoking topics.  The adjudicators had a difficult time determining a winner for this year's competition.
 
 
Congratulations to Pyper.
