Alan Duff!

Alan Duff, is a unique man. He was the author of the book ' Once Were Warriors '.  It was an honour for us have him visit our school and to hear him talk about why he was inspired to write books. He had mentioned that nearly all of his books we based on personal experience , The book ' Once Were Warriors' became a Movie and if you have seen it the life style back then was very rough and that's the background Alan Duff grew up in.

Id like to take this moment to say thank you to Alan Duff for visiting our school and for telling us that you can do anything and become anything when you grow up. Alan Duff was raised up in Rotorua.
