Become a Duffy School

We’d love your school to join over 500 other Duffy schools around New Zealand. Being a Duffy school means more than just handing out books to children.

What does it mean to be a Duffy school?

Our schools play an active part in fostering a love of books and reading in their children. Each school appoints a Duffy Coordinator who will drive the programme and coordinate a variety of events throughout the year. These include:

  • Distributing and collating book order forms.
  • Liaising with Duffy Books in Homes to organise Role Model assemblies, Duffy Theatre performances and special awards throughout the year.
  • Keeping in touch with your school’s sponsor.
  • Organising weekly ‘Caught Being Good’ awards for students.
  • Nominating annual ‘Duffy Champion’ awards for individuals who champion the Duffy programme.
  • Completing an online survey twice a year.

You can download our Year Planner to see all the events that Duffy schools take part in during the year.
