Year 7 Accelerated Reader 2021
Each year at Marian, our year 7 students take part in a weekly reading program known as Accelerated Reader. This program enables students to engage in weekly reading and comprehension practice, as well as serving as an important diagnostic tool, providing our teachers with ongoing data reflecting the literacy levels of our students.
I wish to acknowledge here the students who made the top 20 on the Accelerated Reader Leaderboard this year.

Thank you to our 2021 year 7 students for all your hard work in Accelerated Reader this year. It has been a joy to teach you all and watch you grow through your first year at Marian.
