Duffy Assembly

Today Henry Tuipe'a from the Duffy theatre came to PBS to talk about reading. He told us a story about how when he first found out about books he thought they were DVD cases that the DVD's had been stolen out of, how reading had given him confidence and about how when he was rejected by a girl in the library he cried for 7 days, 14 hours, 21 minutes and 10 seconds and read books to comfort himself and take him somewhere else, but when he rejected her she cried for 7 days, 14 hours, 21 minutes and 10 seconds. He also talked about how when he found out he was coming to our school he thought to be like a hero, he would have to wear his undies on the outside, but his flatmate told him it was a very bad idea and thankfully he didn't choose to wear them like that. It was a very funny story and we all had a great time listening to him.

Shavaughn Roimata

This is a picture of Room 5 and Room 6 after Shavaughn Roimata who has worked on television many times came to visit us for a special Duffy assembly. She was on the Shortland street set until the person she was acting as blew up. It was a privilege to have her coming to our school first.
