2026 Kerikeri High School Speech Competition
In English classes, Kerikeri High School students learn how to structure, and deliver formal speeches. They draft and revise their work before presenting them to their classes. The top speeches from each class progress to the Year-Level Semifinals, where they are judged by English teachers. From this stage, the judges face the difficult task of choosing only the top five to six speakers to advance to the Speech Finals.
Well done to all of our finalists and congratulations to the winners. The standard of speeches was outstanding.
And a big thank you to all of our presenters, musicians and judges.
