Rāwhiti Ihaka Background

This contest commemorates the late Rāwhiti Ihaka and the reputation he earned for his skills in oratory, both in Māori and in English. He was a beloved teacher and mentor at Hato Tipene. The trophy also acknowledged his skills in teaching mathematics and science, and for being one of the first Māori graduates in this field.

ELIGIBILITY

The contest is for bona fide secondary school pupils, both male and female, Māori and non-Māori in years 9 and 10 (that is, students who are undertaking a full-time course of study at these levels).

STRUCTURE OF THE RĀWHITI IHAKA CONTEST

The contest is for a prepared speech in Māori of up to 10 minutes in length and no less than 8 minutes and has the same conditions as the Pei Te Hurinui Jones Senior Māori Contest, except there is no impromptu section.

More Important Notes:
