School Leader AssemblyTwo students from local high schools visit Duffy kids and talk about life at secondaryschool, their goals and aspirations and why reading is so important. To thank themDuffy Books in Homes provides a book and certificate for each high school studentthat visits your school.The School Leader Assembly is a great way for your school to build up a goodrelationship with your local high school. Please contact one of your local secondaryschools and ask them to select two confident senior students to speak at your SchoolLeader Assembly.We fax and email secondary schools throughout the country advising them thattheir local Duffy school may get in touch regarding this initiative. We will also fax aninformation sheet for the School Leaders, asking them to talk about their goals andaspirations, life at secondary school, and the importance of reading.We suggest the following assembly format:• Principal / Duffy Coordinator welcomes and introduces the School Leaders• School Leaders speak to your students for five to ten minutes• Question and Answer timeIdeas for making your School Leader Assembly special:• Invite back past pupils – they don’t have to go to your local high school, theymay even have gone on to University. You may wish to ask them to bring intheir old Duffy books!• Develop a relationship with your local high school. You may like to create abuddy system with the local high school whereby senior students come to thePrimary School once a week to read and play games and sports with their‘buddy’ students.• For your older students (Year 6 or Year 8) who may be going onto high schoolor intermediate next year, this is a good opportunity for them to learn moreabout life at high school. It’s pretty scary going to college, but contact withconfident older students who went to the same school can help ease nerves.April, 2008
