Victorian Premiers’ Reading Challenge

The Premiers’ Reading Challenge encourages young people to read a set number of books over the year and record their efforts online. Since the Challenge first began in 2005, more than 3.5 million students have read over 54 million books!

This year, Cranbourne Secondary College has joined the challenge! Students from Year 7 to 8 have been enrolled into the challenge. Year 9 to 10 have the option to join.

The PRC started on the 15th of March and ends on the 2nd of September. Books from our school library (including our E Books), from your public library or from home can be read for the challenge. Students are to see library staff for any queries.

There will be PRC certificates for all who complete the challenge and special certificates, badges and prizes for outstanding individual readers and classes.

Will Kostakis Author Visit

Our school had the privilege of having Will Kostakis, an award-winning Australian author and motivational speaker for young adults, visit us on Friday 13th May. Will had kindly offered us a free visit!  Selected Year 8 and 10 students attended the author visit in the theatre. Will spoke about his writing experience and a little bit about his new title, We Could Be Something. It was an entertaining and well-received session. Our students were pleasantly surprised. Will emailed back that he thoroughly enjoyed the visit and that our students are lovely.
