This year marks 50 years since the establishment of the Māori Secondary Schools Speech Competition, Ngā Manu Kōrero.

It is a prestigious event that encourages Māori students in all secondary schools to become more confident when speaking in both Māori and English.

Each year, new speech topics are created within four sections, giving students the opportunity to choose one that they are most passionate about. This year Te Ariki Te Puni will be representing Palmerston North Boys’ High School in the Senior English section on Wednesday 23 September.

The National final for 2015 will be hosted by Te Whanganui-a-Tara ki Otaki at the Te Rauparaha Arena in Porirua from Monday 21 through to Thursday 24 of September.
