Irene Van Dyke
Irene Van Dyk visited our school on Tuesday 26th August. She is a famous New Zealand netball player and she is really, really tall. She has played for 2 countries - South Africa and New Zealand. She has played for New Zealand 72 times and was thought of as the best goal shoot in the world, which was very lucky for us. Her talk to the school inspired us to keep trying and to never give up. She said that her mother was the one who helped her to achieve her dream. She has also been a teacher but had to give up because it was too hard to teach and play netball as well. She was born on June 21st 1972 which makes her 42. I thought she was very inspiring and funny.

I thought she was very tall too - and a really lovely woman! This piece is really well written Aaron! Well Done!
ReplyDeleteWe don't know a lot about net ball here in the US, and you are correct; she is quite tall! Enjoyed reading this post.
