Congratulations to all the schools that made it to the regional finals. The judges were particularly impressed with the calibre of presentations this year and deciding the overall national finalists was a very difficult task.

Certificates will be sent to all regional finalists participants in the next few weeks. We hope to see you again in 2011.

All national finalists will travel to Wellington for the national final on Thursday 26 August. Alison McKessar will contact national finalists on 17 August to organise travel to Wellington.

This year the national finals will be professionally recorded. The winning presentation will be placed on the Bank’s website as a learning tool for schools to see what standard they need to achieve to win.
