School Fair

I had quite a scary experience at our School Fair. I was put in a car wreck & was then cut out of it by the fire brigade using the "jaws of life", before being carried away into the ambulance.
The good thing about it was the efficient way both services went about their work - I felt that if I was ever in a real accident, I would certainly have confidence in these people to look after me.

Duffy Role Model Assembly

We are a "Duffy Books in Homes" school and one of the special events that happens because of that is we get to meet some really interesting people at our Role Model assemblies.
This term we were visited by Anna Richards, a member of the Black Ferns, the NZ Womens Rugby team. Anna talked to us about her life, especially her involvement in various sports and how she got to where she is today. She stressed the importance of books and reading, and of giving everything a try.
