| One of the Family - 2012 |
On the 27th of June Norm Hewitt (an ex rugby player and competitor on dancing with the stars NZ) arrived at our school to talk to us about animal violence, his life, the SPCA and what they do.

It was a very funny but sad experience. He told us that his childhood life was miserable and when he was sad his pets made him feel better. He also told us that family violence is not ok and that you can get arrested for it.

He taught us how to make a proper chip-butty sandwich. You cut the butter and slap it on your white bread. Be warned; never ever, ever spread the butter on because it takes too long. Then you put your hot chips on and the other piece of bread.

When he was little his father told him that he was going on an adventure to get the fish ’n’ chips. He told him it would take 7 hours to get it because he had to grow the potatoes and catch the fish then cook it all but he actually bought the fish ‘n’ chips then went to the pub for 7 hours. That night his father would bring it home and his mother had to heat it up in the oven because it got cold while he was at the pub.
He also told us about the moment he knew he wanted to be an All Black instead of his previous dream – a cowboy. He was watching an All Black test wearing his cowboy PJs. The captain led the haka and at that moment he turned to his family saying he was going to be an All Black. He never lost sight of that dream finally making it a reality.

He is living a happy life now, working for the SPCA, teaching children about animal violence and that it is NOT ok.
