Premiers' Reading Challenge

With the end of the Premiers' Reading Challenge only 4 weeks away (7th September), now is a great time to ensure our children are well on their way to completing the challenge. All students have been registered and are expected to participate. 

Books enjoyed during class time have been added to each child's reading list by teachers, while books enjoyed at home can be added by parents and students using the Premiers' Reading Challenge login details in students' diaries. Prep - Yr 2 students are expected to experience 30 books while our older Years 3 - 6 students are expected to read 15 books.

Happy reading!
