White Rock State Primary School

A note from Sharon
Brett went to White Rock Primary School at the request of Anne Kippin

He was to present two Silver Awards to children at the School at the main assembly
and give a little talk
He did that and Anne said he was "very good"
Anne said Brett was also great with the two Award winners
and they had their photos taken with him and with his Medal around their necks

All the kids wanted autographs and because it would have taken all day,
Anne photocopied a shot of Brett and had him sign it (below)
She then copied it so each of the kids could have one

Brett also had an offer of marriage from one girl!
(see "Back Play" below)

Anne said they asked lots of questions, eg
" did you fly here?" - "do you have a family and children?" - "have you met some famous people?"

Brett went around to all the classrooms from Grade 4 to 7
and Anne said that the teachers and some of the parents that were there
were just as excited as the kids, if not more!!
