Premier’s Reading Challenge (PRC) 2023

Over the last two weeks students have started the Premier’s Reading Challenge for 2023. This year is a special one as we are celebrating 20 years of the Premier’s Reading Challenge. The PRC is a literacy engagement program that was introduced by the Premier to encourage students to read more books, enjoy reading and improve literacy levels. To celebrate 20 years of the Challenge the PRC is running an additional Challenge this year where students can challenge themselves to read 20 books instead of the usual 12.

How does it work?

To complete the Challenge students have until the 8th September 2023 to read a total of twelve books. At least eight of the twelve books need to be chosen from the Premier's Reading Challenge booklist at the appropriate year level or at an appropriate literacy level for each student. Another 4 books can be the student's own choice and should be of a similar standard to books on the list. Students record the books read and a parent/carer/teacher or librarian initials to acknowledge the book has been read. Students return completed sheets to the library.

On completion of the original 12 book Challenge students will be offered the option to complete the 20 Book Challenge. At the end of the year all students who have completed the Challenge will receive an award. Students who have completed the 20 Book Challenge will receive a bonus certificate as well as their nominated award.

St Paul Lutheran School App

The St Paul Lutheran SA app has all the contact information you need as a parent of St Paul. This app is different to the QKR! and Seesaw app. This is what you will use to access the St Paul parent portal. You can contact the school office to obtain your login and password.

Canteen

Rory's School Lunches are continuing to provide canteen services at St Paul in 2023. Orders can be made via the Qkr! app. Please note the cut off time for same day lunch orders is 8:30am. The Rory's Parent hotline number for late orders is 0413 575 800. This is manned from 9:30am. Late orders must be made by 10:30am. Any orders placed after 10:30am will not be delivered in time, and therefore only toasted sandwiches will be available. If you are wanting to order Sushi for your children via the QKR app, you have to order it by 8am the day before. Eg if wanting sushi for Wednesday, the order must be placed by 8am Tuesday. Parents please ensure you are supplying a fork or spoon if your child has a lunch that requires one.
