We have been very privileged to be able to offer this programme for many years to all students in the school.

The programme is made up of a number of elements and enables all students to received free books and to create their own library at home.  In term 1 and 3 the children get a minimum of 2 books, and 1 book in term 2.  We hold 'Caught Being Good' assemblies fortnightly where teachers nominate students to receive a book, as well as books often used as prizes for our Kahu Card draw at the same assembly.  The programme also has a free Duffy Theatre play each year (we had ours just recently), Mothers Day book, Fathers Day book, Grandparent book, and School Leaders book as well.  They also contribute a book and cup for our end of year leavers presentation as well.

We hear from ex-students regularly about these books being a highlight of their time at school.  Last week the students attended a Role Model Assembly where           spoke to the children, and their Term 1 books were given out.

Our thanks to the Lion Foundation and Ravensdown for sponsoring our school Duffy programme.
