One of the things that makes Waimate Centennial School special is our participation in the "Books in Homes" programme. With the support of NZ Dairies, our sponsor, all children receive at least 5 free books each year. The key message of the programme is that "It is Cool to Read" and the role models that come along to our Duffy assemblies reinforce this message.
At September's assembly, our special guest was childrens author Elizabeth Pulford who spoke to the children about her life and her writing before presenting each class with their Duffy books.
