Source: www.titans.com.auGold Coast speedsters Kevin Gordon and David Mead swapped footy boots for teacher's hats as they became Principal For A Day at Norfolk Village State School.
The pair were given the Principal's duties for the afternoon as they read with a group of Year 3 students before attending the school's official assembly to hand out merit awards and prizes to students.
Winger Gordon literally donned the teacher's hat when he was asked to wear the Year 3 class' bright red 'reading hat' - designated for the student who is reading during class at a particular time - when reading "The Diary Of A Worm'' to the kids.
"It's good to come out here, the principal is away for the day so it's good to help out with the kids and help get their mottos and values right,'' said Gordon.
"It's good to get back to the schools and teach the kids that education is an important factor in life. As footballers we've got to fall back on something at the end of the day so it's important for us as well.''
Mead said the students seemed to particularly enjoy Gordon's reading to the entire class.
"It's always good to get out to the schools and help. We came here to present some awards and Kevie read to the class it's good to see the smiles on their faces,'' said Mead.
"The community supports us in playing rugby league so we've got to give something back to them. It's very important to teach the kids about learning in a safe and respectful environment.''

Source: www.qrl.com.auAt the end of 80 minutes of football, nothing could separate the Norths Devils and Tweed Heads Seagulls who played out a 12-12 draw in their Intrust Super Cup game at Bishop Park yesterday.
The halftime score was also 6-6, which further highlighted the even nature of the contest.
While he was happy to have taken one point away from the encounter, Devils coach Craig Hodges admitted to some disappointment; saying he thought his players performed well enough to win.
"We'll take a point ... but I think we could of and should have won, and we did a lot of work towards that, but we'll settle for the draw," Hodges said.
"I thought it was a great game; it was a real arm wrestle.
"We scored and then they scored, then we made it 12-6 and they scored again to level it up.
"They had a lot more ball and so they had better field position; but we defended really well, we defended solidly.
"I think if you look at how strong Tweed are, at the start of the season if you were told you would take one point off them you would be happy."
Hodges said this solid defence was the biggest positive to come from the match and was a marked improvement from their 36-24 loss to the Burleigh Bears in Round 1.
"It was a big step forward from last week and we are moving towards the level we expect to play," Hodges said.
"We have a young side, and they are a developing side and next week we will be hoping to build on this week and perform better.
"I thought Brendon Gibb played well (yesterday); I thought all our forwards played well; Jamie Muller as well and Pat McPherson when he came on. Our whole rotation of guys performed well."
NORTHS DEVILS 12 (Brendon Gibb, Pat McPherson tries; Joel Bailey 2 goals) drew TWEED HEADS SEAGULLS 12 (Matt Hundy, Kevin Gordon tries; Beau Henry 2 goals) at Bishop Park.
