Mararoa School

Our Yr 5&6’s and Yr 7&8’s have both been down to Winton this week playing at the CSNC Netty Festival. They all showed great sportsmanship, enthusiasm and determination, especially when some of the games were tough. They stuck at it and had lots of fun. Great work seniors!

During our speeches yesterday, our Room Murchison poppets also entertained the audience with their speeches. We start them early on their public speaking learning journey at Mararoa School, even our newest 5 year old Evie presented her talk (with a bit of moral support from Miss Addenbrooke). We had a diverse range of topics, Henry had us laughing out loud with his informative talk about hot dogs. Anyone that can entertain an audience when talking about hotdogs has a great public speaking future! Well done Murchison students, we are already looking forward to next year's speeches.

Today we held the Mararoa School Speech Competition. We had a great turn out of family and friends of the school to watch the entire school present their 2024 speeches. Our audience and judges commented on the great variety of topics this year & how the presentation of the speeches was of a high standard. Each student did well to present their speeches to either inform, entertain or persuade. A big thank you to our judges - Julie Burgess and Raewyn Gilchrist who had the hardest task to find the top two placegetters for the next round of Cluster Speeches. The top three from Year 5 & 6 were Boe Lilo, Ruby Douglas and Sam Jordan, while the top three from the Year 7 & 8's were Lexie Slee, Paige Macgregor and Chloe Thomas. Sam and Chloe will be on standby incase either of the top two in their age group are unable to attend. Congratulations to everyone, you have made us all so proud.
