During Assembly, we had a duffy role model who was a news reader and a trained journalist based in Auckland, New Zealand, Her name was Niva Retimanu. Niva Retimanu was born in Invercargill a city near down in the Southern tip in New Zealand South island, also born to Samoan parents. Niva has taken part of the radio industry and has been working there for 30 years. One more fact about her is that she is best known for her distinctively deep and rich toned voice.
First she had talked about herself and about her Job. She said that in the South island it used to snow, hail and rain a lot of time. Niva used to go to the library every time just to read a book. She brought a book with her to read to us. The name of the book was “Kiss Kiss, Yuck Yuck”. Niva said to repeat what she says the words was “ It’s cool to read and it’s good to archive”.
After that she handed out duffy books to the classes, also everyone was singing the duffy song.
