Premiers' Reading Challenge
Premiers' Reading Challenge
What is the Challenge?
Wantirna College is participating in the Premier's Reading Challenge 2020. Students in year 7-10 are registered for the 'Challenge'. This is not a competition but a personal challenge for students to read a set number of books 28th August, 2020.
Years 7-9 are required to read 15 books, 10 from the 'Challenge' list
Year 10 are required to read 15 books, 5 from the 'Challenge' list.
How the Challenge works?
Students will be issued with a LOGIN & PASSWORD but due to technical issues this information is not yet available, please keep a list of books you have read to add to your ‘Challenge’ list once the Premiers’ Reading Challenge administrators rectify the issue.
Books previously read in 2020 can be added to the list. You can also count the books you read for the MS Readathon in the ‘Challenge’.
Students can mark books as favourites, give them a star rating or complete a book review. Book reviews MUST NOT include the school or your name.
Why do we want students participating?

The Principal Team will ‘plank’ LIVE & ONLINE for every book READ!!!
