Oscar McCoughy (8), of St Joseph's School, receives a new dictionary from Rotarian Bruce Jefford, who, along with Queenstown Rotary youth director Alistair Smith, delivered the last of an estimated 195 dictionaries for the area's year 4 pupils on Monday.

The initiative was part of Rotary's literacy month.

Mr Jefford said the group's efforts would now focus on ensuring schools gained funding for the continued supply of safety vests for all children between the ages of 5 and 13.
