Premier's Reading Challenge

As term 2 ends, I would like to apologise to anyone who has been unable to contact me regarding the PRC. Unfortunately, I have just returned from a nasty infection and have been unable to respond to emails.

Most classes have received their usernames and passwords to enable them to add the titles they have read. By the end of the week all students should have received them. Books can be added at any time up to Thursday 03/09/26. You do not have to verify the books. I am the only person who can do that. I will be verifying most of the books on the evening of Thursday 03/09.  For further information please see the information below.

Thank you to those who are encouraging your students to participate.

The Premier’s Reading Challenge is open to all students at HEPS and simply involves you recording the title and author of the books your child reads between Monday 02/03/26 and Thursday 03/09/26.

During this six-month period students have to read a selection of books from the PRC list as follows:

Reading lists are available in the library and children will be taught to choose a book appropriate for their level using the library colour coding system. 

I would like to encourage all students to participate in this challenge. I am sure you will agree that with our homework policy of reading four times per week, completing this challenge should be fairly easy.

Children will receive their login code in the very near future, and instructions on adding books to the site will be posted regularly in the newsletter. 

I will be coordinating this event and will be promoting it regularly. At the conclusion of the event I will verify student books, order and distribute the certificates.

If you have any questions about the event, please contact me. My classroom is in the Villa and I am usually available before school starts between 8.30 and 8.50am.
