Victorian Premiers' Reading Challenge 2025

The Victorian Premiers’ Reading Challenge is now open and Mt Eliza Primary School is excited to be participating. The PRC application offers a range of exciting features including:

• access to a library catalogue (including book images and blurbs)
• a modern user-friendly interface
• rewarding students with badges as challenge milestones are achieved

• the option for students to mark books as a favourite, give them a star rating or complete a book review.

   

The Challenge is open to all Victorian children from birth to Year 10 in recognition of the importance of reading for literacy development. It is not a competition; but a personal challenge for children to read a set number of books by Friday 5th September 2025.

Number of books students need to read or ‘experience’ with their parents and teachers: 

Prep to Year 2

• Number of books: 30 
• Number of books from the Challenge book list: 20 or more 

Year 3 to Year 6 

• Number of books: 15 
• Number of books from the Challenge book list: 10 or more 

All children who meet the Challenge will receive a certificate of achievement signed by the Victorian Premier and former Premiers.
