Inter Intermediate Speech Competition

Towards the end of term 2, 3 students from Tamatea Intermediate were given the opportunity to go to Radio Kidnappers and take part in the Semi-finals of the Inter Intermediate Speech Competition.

     Jessica's chosen topic was RETT Syndrome- A syndrome that only girls suffer from, boys pass away at birth. There is only approximately 50 girls in NZ with it! People with RETT Syndrome have a chromosome missing in their brain that affects their walking, talking and gives them slow development.

     Zack decided to do his speech on procrastination- procrastination, for those of you who don't know, is when you put off doing something or making a delay so you don't have to do it.

     Pypah selected OCS as her topic- OCS is Only Child Syndrome. It is about her life being an only child and how it affects her. Also it includes the advantages and disadvantages of being an only child.

The judges then choose which contestant from our school would go through to the finals and represent Tamatea Intermediate against entries from the other intermediates. That contestant was Pypah! :)

The 2nd week of term3 Pypah went over to Radio Kidnappers to compete in the finals of the Inter Intermediate Speech competition. She faced students from Hastings, Heretaunga, St. Marys and Taradale. The judges decided that Pypah had won the inter intermediate speech finals!
Well done Pypah we are all very proud of you.
