The Programme
Each year, each child on the programme receives:
- One Theatre Show visit from Duffy Theatre
- Six books that they get to choose and keep,
- Two Role Model Visits/Assemblies
- Weekly Caught Being Good awards (books + certificate) and twice yearly Role Model assemblies.Â
Three times a year, every Duffy child chooses two books from over 80 titles that they’d like to take home and cherish. The titles on offer are different each time and are chosen at Book Selection workshops by a current Duffy School – their students, Duffy Coordinator and Principal.Â
How you can help
The way our programme works is each Duffy school is matched with a funding partner. The funding partner covers 50% of the cost of the books for all tamariki in that school. The school covers the other 50%.
Become a Funding Partner
Our funding partners make our programme possible. Duffy school funding partners come from all walks of life – large corporations, local businesses and families, individuals, clubs and other schools. What joins them is the desire to make a real difference in the lives of tamariki.
As a funding partner, you can be involved on whichever level works best for you. Some funding partners attend every Duffy assembly and might even have staff who volunteer at the school. Others prefer to just make a financial contribution.
