Roadsafe Taranaki competition winners

Congratulations to the following children who won a prize in the Roadsafe Taranaki Feet First story competition. We asked students to write about the experiences of an older person they knew and how they used to get to school. In partnership with O2 Project Bike Shop in Stratford there was also a bike and accessories (up to $500) up for grabs in each district.

The winner of a bike (and accessories) up to the value of $500 from O2 Project were:

Briana Wallis Hawera Primary

Tessa Hurley Pembroke

Makayla Tuuta Mangorei

The winners of a $25 Whitcoulls Book Voucher were:

Zade Johnston Hawera Primary

Mustabshirah Khatoon Hawera Primary

Mitchell Best Pembroke School

Samule Kieft Pembroke School

Tamar Le Roux Pembroke School

Xavier Hey Pembroke School

Fergus Hughes Pembroke School

Tessa Hurley Pembroke School

K'Lee Clapham Mangorei School

Joshua Glynn Mangorei School

Adrianna Hunt Manukorihi Intermediate

Alexis Allen Inglewood Primary

The vouchers and a congratulations certificate will be forwarded to each winner via their school.

Two District Librarians and Dinah King from Roadsafe Taranaki judged the stories, and were impressed with the research some students undertook to get their story. This is reflected in awarding of additional prizes in some age groups due to the high caliber of entries.

Congratulations and thank you in particular to Hawera Primary, Mangorei and Pembroke schools for supporting the competition through encouraging classes of students to enter.
