Victorian Premier's Reading Challenge 2021

 

One student has completed the challenge so far, with only 107 days to go that’s a slow start. There has been 69 books registered and verified! 

Students from the classes of Miss Higgins, Mrs Turnbull, Mrs Steel, Ms Moody and Miss Graham have been given their passwords and can register books that they have already read this year. If the passwords don’t work just contact Miss MacKay or Mrs Earl in the Library for a new one. 

We are also available to show how to log on or search for some great books. Students from Years 5, 6, 7 or 8 will be able to coach you as well.

Some great writers on the Reading List include: Andy Lee, Kate di Camillo, Aaron Blabey, Enid Blyton, Melina Marchetta, Laurie Halse Anderson, J.R.R.Tolkien, Neil Gaiman, Jessica Townsend.
