Winners from the Zone Final represented SA/NT at the National Final in Brisbane on Sat 29 July.

Both our zone winners, Holly Wallman–Craddock (Junior) and Zaina Khan (Senior) spoke extremely well on very emotional and personal topics but neither speaker was placed. Both Holly and Zaina represented their families, their school (both from St Peters Girls) and SA/NT Rostrum with distinction.

Rostrum thanks the Speaker of the House of Assembly, the Hon Michael Atkinson MP, for permission to hold the Final in the House, and the Premier and Leader of the Opposition for their representation through Mr Chris Picton MP, Member for Kaurna and Ms Rachel Sanderson MP, State Member for Adelaide.

Special thanks go to our organising team of Einer Herringe, Heather Layton, Brenda McKenzie and Alan Strickland and all our volunteers for another fantastic competition.
