The first Duffy Assembly for 2010 was on 31 March.  Our role model was Tory Whanau.  Tory talked about her education and a teacher who didn’t believe that she could succeed.  Tory was determined to prove her wrong and went on to gain a BA in Media Studies and now works as the Office of Film and Literature Classification as a Film Censor.

Our school has just purchased some scooters from Avanti Plus in Porirua that can handle a hard life, are made of tough aluminium frame that won’t rust and have 125mm wheels for handling a wide range of surfaces.  They are normally $145 but Avanti are selling them for just $120 (Porirua shop only) .  This offer expires on 31 May 2010.

If your child is going to be away from school or you need to leave a message at the office please remember that we have a school cellphone—number 027-757-0272.
