Here's part of the good crowd enjoying the finals. Parents, grandparents, brothers, sisters, classmates, teachers, ex-pupils all came to have a good night out not watching TV! After six excellent speeches, it was the judges' turn....

Here's chief judge Goerge Chambers giving some feedback to all of the speakers. He found lots of good things to say.	And in second place... Guy Kamphorst. Who can forget his cellphone 'ring'..."Whakatane hospital?!"
And the winner, Kate McConway. Here she's receiving the shield from last year's winner Rhona Whitaker. Rhona shows how tall you are when you get to high school!	Our excellent finalists: Zoe, Meron, Guy, Jemma and Kate
