The Victorian Premiers Reading Challenge 2026

The Victorian Premiers’ Reading Challenge is now open and St Cecilia’s is excited to be taking part! 

The Challenge is open to all Victorian children from Foundation to Year 10, and aims to help young readers develop a lifelong love of reading.

This year’s Challenge theme is ‘Stories to discover. Stories to tell’. Stories can inspire and challenge us, and help us grow. They open our eyes to new worlds and new ways of thinking. 

Students from Prep to Year 2 are encouraged to read or experience 30 books with their parents and teachers. Students in Year 3-6 are challenged to read 15 or more books. 

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