Premier’s Reading Challenge

Please encourage all children to read during the holidays. The Premier’s Reading Challenge runs to 23 August 2024. Students in Years 3 to Year 6 need to read 20 books (10 books from their Challenge list and 10 free choice books) and record them onto their Reading Logs. All children that have completed the Challenge will receive a certificate from the Premier of NSW.

Kinder to Year 2 students will have 30 books read to them by their teachers and will automatically receive a smaller Premier’s Reading Challenge certificate. However, it is strongly encouraged that independent readers from Year 2 try to complete the Challenge themselves by reading 20 books from their Challenge list and 10 free choice books.

For a full list of what books are in the Challenge, go to the Premier’s Reading Challenge website at: https://online.det.nsw.edu.au/prc/home.html

For a list of Challenge books in our school library, access your child’s student portal at: https://education.nsw.gov.au/ and navigate to Oliver Library. Students will need to know their usernames and passwords to access the library page.
