Congratulations to Kate Coughlan, from Nanango State High School, who won the Kingaroy round of the 2013 Quota International Student of the Year competition last Saturday night.
A total of eight students from Nanango State High School, Kingaroy State High School and St Mary’s Catholic College had a 40-minute interview with judges Bernie Pegrem, Ilma O’Farrell and Clair Nicholls.
The students then presented four-minute prepared speeches and a two-minute impromptu speech in front of a small audience in the South Burnett Regional Council Chambers in Kingaroy.
Kate was presented with a shield and certificate from the Kingaroy Quota International Club.
She will now compete at the Quota International District 34 finals in Maryborough on August 10 where she has the opportunity to win a bursary from Quota International for her tertiary studies.
