Shortland Street comes to West Spreydon School

Shaun Edwards- Brown spoke to the children at our assembly last week. Shaun played Ben on Shortland Street.

He was very humble about his successes and chose to speak to the children about The West Spreydon School Triple A's.
Shaun told them how he has overcome disappointment and remained determined to work hard for his goals. He always wanted to be a teacher and to act. He does both and is very passionate about what he does. He teaches drama at Cashmere High School.
He talked about his disappointment when he didn't win a part on Shortland Street and about how he had to bounce back and try again until he achieved his goal.
There was lots of giggling from the children and from Mr Crowl when Shaun explained that having to kiss someone on t.v. is just part of the job.

Thanks Shaun. We were very pleased to have you as a guest in our school.
