Being a Duffy Role Model is more than just having a recognisable face or an impressive career. Our Role Models have a passion for ensuring our children are given every possible opportunity in life. The Role Model programme is one of our most popular and valuable assets in terms of the benefits for Duffy students. It is a pivotal way of promoting our message: ‘It’s Cool to Read and Cool to Achieve’ It’s more than just a motto, this is a message that our Role Models have lived and breathed. They might be a successful sportsperson, entertainer or author or perhaps have made an invaluable contribution to their community – what makes them the same is that they recognise the importance of books and reading to our children.
