The Kiri Moerangi Mangu Trophy was presented in 1991 by Southland Girls High School as a memorial to Kiri Moerangi Mangu, of Ngāti Porou, who won the Regional Otago/Southland Korimako Speech Contest in 1990. Her goal was to participate in the National Ngā Manu Kōrero finals. Unfortunately she passed away at the end of Term 2. The trophy is a framed photograph of kotuku. The frame was replaced in 1999 with rimu, which was carved by Joe Epapara of Te Arawa, Ngāti Porou. It is awarded to the student who gains the highest marks in the impromptu section of the Korimako (Senior English) contest.
