Duffy Books in Homes
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.
