Literacy and Numeracy

Mathematics at Home / Mathematics Hub

It is wonderful to see so many students completing mathematics tasks at home to strengthen their understanding and build fluency in addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.

Students can now access a variety of engaging mathematics activities through the student landing page on the school homepage. Happy exploring!

Victorian Premiers' Reading Challenge

The Premiers' Reading Challenge has officially started and everyone at St James is invited to participate! The goal of the Challenge is to foster a love of reading quality literature. The theme this year is ‘Stories to discover. Stories to tell’.

It is not a competition; it is a personal challenge for children to read a set number of books by 4 September 2026. Children from Prep to Year 2 are encouraged to read or ‘experience’ 30 books with their parents and teachers. Children from Year 3 to Year 6 are challenged to read 15 books. All children who meet the Challenge will receive a certificate of achievement signed by the Victorian Premier and former Premiers.

Your child's teacher will distribute your child's log in this week; Prep-2 students will have a sticker in their Reading log books and Year 3-6 student details can be found in their school diary. Please be in touch if you require any assistance.
