Duffy Assembly

While the children were singing the Duffy song, our Duffy Role Model,Christine Fernyhough walked into the hall with Mr Swann and the King's College students. Krisharti introduced Christine Fernyhough. Christine is a business woman, sheep farmer, educator and an author. She lives at Castles Hill Station. Christine co-founded the Duffy Books in Home Programme with Alan Duff. She talked about the Nike slogan "Just do it". Three lucky students who answered the questions correctly got a pair of Nike socks. Christine then showed us her Can Do Jar. It contained messages of things you are going to try and do. The children listened carefully as she read her book "Dart of Castle Hill". Christine and the King's College students gave out the box of Duffy books to happy children. By Ashleen Raj
