Brian Hanlon Speech Awards

Perseverance Pays Off in Rotary Speech Contest

Howick Rotary held its annual Brian Hanlon Howick College 4 – Way Test Speech Contest for year 9 and 10 students on Tuesday 10th November. Hope Milo who as a year 9 student had been placed as second runner up in 2019 was the winner of the 2020 contest. Her perseverance and application in entering the competition for a second time as a year 10 student speaking on the subject of “Denormalization of Anti-Asian Racism” paid off reinforcing the old adage “if at first you don’t succeed try, try again”

Hope and fellow finalists Prajna Chaudrey, Sehandu Maharage and Connor Shelley presented some thought-provoking speeches to a large audience of their families, College organizing teachers and Rotary club guests and members. Among the club’s guests were Michelle and Robbie Inness, Brian and Hazel Hanlon’s daughter and son in law with Michelle assisting in the awarding of the prizes and the presentation of her late father’s Memorial Trophy. Toastmaster’s organization members Eimaan Hamid, Aroha Heene and Sean Walton were on hand to judge the speeches.
