BRINGING BOOKS AND CHILDREN TOGETHER SINCE 1995 ISSN 1177-0562<br />
Driving a new generation of readers<br />
The image of a typical truckie is one<br />
that is often surrounded by many<br />
clichés. However, one transport firm<br />
has gone a long way to changing<br />
those perceptions with their support<br />
of the <strong>Duffy</strong> <strong>Books</strong> in <strong>Homes</strong><br />
programme.<br />
Mainfreight is a long-time supporter of the<br />
programme and through their sponsorship of<br />
numerous <strong>Duffy</strong> schools around the country<br />
has been able to give the gift of reading to<br />
thousands of children.<br />
Mainfreight’s support is not just limited to<br />
school sponsorship. Each year the firm<br />
sponsors an end of year prize for each of<br />
the schools involved in the programme.<br />
This includes a cup, a certificate signed by<br />
Executive Chairman Bruce Plested and a high<br />
quality reference book.<br />
Last year’s book prize was The DK Complete<br />
Atlas of the World – The Definitive View of the<br />
Earth which has been created with<br />
state-of-the-art digital mapping software and<br />
satellite data to present high-definition maps,<br />
in a modern design, for every region of the<br />
world.<br />
Together with the cup and certificate, the<br />
atlas makes up the Mainfreight Award for<br />
Excellence in Attitude which was presented<br />
to a senior student at each <strong>Duffy</strong><br />
school who has shown outstanding<br />
Gregg Conning from Mainfreight Hamilton<br />
attitude in all areas of school life. joins all the award winners from Pukenui<br />
Representatives from Mainfreight<br />
School to celebrate their achievements.<br />

and its associated companies were<br />
invited to visit schools and help<br />
present the award –<br />
an opportunity which they all relished.<br />
What about the grandparents?<br />
Mother’s Day and Father’s Day give<br />
children the chance to show their<br />
love for their parents. But what<br />
about grandparents? With no special<br />
section of the Hallmark card shelf for<br />
them, <strong>Duffy</strong> <strong>Books</strong> in <strong>Homes</strong> decided<br />
to do their part in recognising their<br />
importance in children’s lives.<br />

The Caught Being a Good Grandparent<br />
Award recognises one special grandparent<br />
at each of the schools involved in the <strong>Duffy</strong><br />
<strong>Books</strong> in <strong>Homes</strong> programme.<br />
During the week of November 9, schools<br />
chose a grandparent who had gone the extra<br />
mile in supporting their grandchildren and<br />
honoured them with a beautiful gift.<br />
The award was Ian Brodie’s New Zealand,<br />

Namaste, Annyong, Warm greetings, to all <strong>Duffy</strong><br />
<strong>Books</strong> in <strong>Homes</strong> schools, sponsors, Role Models<br />
and supporters,<br />
Happy New Year!! I trust you all managed to have<br />
relaxing time over the Christmas and New Years and<br />
have had a productive first term of the year.<br />
2009 was a busy year for us and the 2010 schedule<br />
shows no signs of slowing down. <strong>Duffy</strong> <strong>Books</strong> in<br />
<strong>Homes</strong> continues to make solid progress in areas<br />
we think offer most value to <strong>Duffy</strong> kids. By working<br />
together with our schools, we hope to create and<br />
enhance the desire for <strong>Duffy</strong> children to read, through<br />
book ownership.<br />
An online questionnaire offered to all our schools<br />
in November 2009 received an 80% response rate<br />
showing that 97% of our schools reported improved<br />
reading habits and 97% an improvement in attitudes<br />
to reading. <strong>In</strong> addition almost 60% noted an increase<br />
in parental involvement as a result of the programme.<br />
These types of positive results are what <strong>Duffy</strong> <strong>Books</strong><br />
are all about.<br />
<strong>Duffy</strong> <strong>Books</strong> in <strong>Homes</strong> continues to foster and<br />
support our <strong>Duffy</strong> schools and communities as best<br />
we can and 2010 will be a focus on family literacy<br />
through our Early Childhood Education programme<br />
<strong>Duffy</strong> R4R (<strong>Read</strong>y for <strong>Read</strong>ing).<br />
A highlight for the <strong>Duffy</strong> calendar this year will be<br />
the celebration of 15 years since the <strong>Duffy</strong> <strong>Books</strong> in<br />
<strong>Homes</strong> programme commenced. This will involve a<br />
number of activities and events throughout the year<br />
in your schools, Whitcoulls stores around the country<br />
and in selected communities nationwide. So keep on<br />
the lookout (particularly in August) for activities and<br />
events celebrating 15 years of <strong>Duffy</strong> <strong>Books</strong> in <strong>Homes</strong>.<br />
Some of the highlights of Term Four 2009 and Term<br />
One 2010 and upcoming events are inside this<br />
newsletter. I look forward to hearing about your <strong>Duffy</strong><br />
15 Year celebrations and any great stories during the<br />
remainder of the year.<br />
15 years of <strong>Duffy</strong><br />
<strong>Books</strong> in <strong>Homes</strong><br />
On August 24 1995 Prime Minister Jim Bolger officially<br />
launched <strong>Duffy</strong> <strong>Books</strong> in <strong>Homes</strong> (although back then<br />
there was no ‘<strong>Duffy</strong>’ in the title). Tairangi School in<br />
Wellington was the venue and at the time was one<br />
of just 82 <strong>Duffy</strong> schools.<br />
15 years on and the club is a little less exclusive (547 schools and<br />
100,000 kids) but just as important to the lives of its members.<br />
Over 7,000,000 books have been distributed in the last 15 years<br />
and many thousands of New Zealanders are now proud to call<br />
themselves <strong>Duffy</strong> kids.<br />
During 2010 we will be reconnecting with some of those people<br />
who grew up enjoying the benefits of five brand new books each<br />
year. Where are they now? Have their lives been positively<br />
influenced by the programme? Do they now have children of their<br />
own who they enjoy reading to? Watch out later this year for some<br />
inspiring stories about where <strong>Duffy</strong> <strong>Books</strong> in <strong>Homes</strong> has taken its<br />
participants.<br />
Take a look at the next page to see some of the highlights of the<br />
first 15 years.<br />

Our <strong>Duffy</strong> Theatre teams hit the road this term<br />

We would like to say a HUGE thanks to Christian<br />
Lowe at JB Hi-Fi, Willis Street, Wellington for<br />
their awesome deal on the NavMan GPS system<br />
for both our teams and to Troy Kuraia at Noel<br />
Leeming Outlet Store, Otahuhu, Auckland for<br />
the great deal on the HP Netbook. Having<br />
these available on tour ensures the tour runs<br />
smoothly and allows the actors to keep in<br />
touch with the office team and not get lost on<br />
their way to see you all at school!<br />

<strong>Duffy</strong> schools need your help!<br />
Without the help of sponsors there would be no <strong>Duffy</strong> <strong>Books</strong> in <strong>Homes</strong><br />
programme.<br />
Sponsoring a school means that each <strong>Duffy</strong> kid there can enjoy a minimum of five free<br />
books every year as well as the chance to receive regular weekly book awards and other<br />
prizes throughout the year.<br />
This is in addition to all the other services of the programme such as the travelling<br />
<strong>Duffy</strong> Theatre group and the Kids at Home preschool programme.<br />
Maybe there’s a school near you that is in need of a<br />
sponsor – for just $13.40 per child, per year, you<br />
can help give the gift of reading to an entire community.<br />
If you see a school that you would like to get involved<br />
with then please contact us on 0800 383 392<br />
or email duffy@booksinhomes.org.nz. If that school<br />
is already taken then we’d be happy to help out<br />
with other options.<br />

Letters<br />
Thank you so much for this beautiful book<br />
‘Sanctuary’ received from Park Estate School,<br />
Papakura. I am one of the volunteers doing<br />
reading assistance and it is my pleasure to work<br />
with such an enthusiastic group of children.<br />
Congratulations on the success of <strong>Duffy</strong> <strong>Books</strong> in<br />
<strong>Homes</strong> giving much needed encouragement to<br />
these young children.<br />
<strong>In</strong> appreciation of your kind thought and gift.<br />
Seasons Greetings to you all<br />

Hi Vanessa<br />
At GE we had a second hand book sale (books<br />
donated by staff and purchased by staff) this is<br />
inline with the book theme. The staff are aware<br />
the money is used to support the schools we<br />
sponsor through <strong>Duffy</strong>.<br />
The trips are not only a community and<br />
environmental awareness event but also<br />
educational, catering for 30 students and teachers<br />
and 15 GE staff who volunteers to supervise on<br />
the day. The day is wrapped up with a shared<br />
BBQ. There is no cost to the school as the money<br />
we raise pays for the bus and BBQ.<br />
We have had two very successful excursions with<br />
GIen <strong>In</strong>nes Primary and St Josephs. One teacher<br />
said it was the best trip she had ever been on!<br />
We will again run book sales at work and use the<br />
money to fund trips for 2010.<br />
Thanks<br />

Dear Mr Waka<br />
Thank you for sharing your experiences and<br />
thank you for coming to our <strong>Duffy</strong> Book<br />
assembly. We all love your daughter, she<br />
was beautiful. Thank you for saying you like<br />
our school, that was very nice of you and<br />
you were cool when we saw you. It was<br />
nice of you to come to our school. I am<br />
good at maths and I love to read with my<br />
mum and sister and brother and they say<br />
that I’m good at it they say that I really have<br />
got talent.<br />

Dear Thom<br />
I appreciate what you said and trying to<br />
inspire us to read. I really think it got through<br />
to me for the first time. I also enjoyed the<br />
tricks and moves you could do, they also<br />
were pretty cool. But now you have got<br />
through to me and told us how far you’ve<br />
come and everyone knows it wouldn’t have<br />
happened if you didn’t know how to read.<br />
So I say again THANK YOU.<br />
Yours sincerely<br />
