STRATUS

It was fantastic to see four young men from PNBHS - Kavish Desai, Andrew Karatea, John Hopcroft and Jacob Waugh - entering the Palmerston North RSA Speech Competition last night.  Well done for taking on this extra challenge on top of bust academic workloads.  Congratulations to Jacob Waugh, who was awarded first place, and will present his speech at the upcoming Palmerston North Armistice Day service.  Andrew Karatea was second and will present his speech at the 2020 ANZAC Day Dawn Service, while John Hopcroft was third and will present his speech at the 2020 ANZAC Day Civil Service.  All three young men received very generous prizes from the Palmerston North RSA, prize money and book tokens, while the PNBHS History department was awarded $1200 to put towards student resources.
