Premiers' Reading Challenge

Dear Families,

It’s my absolute pleasure to invite you to take up the 2026 Victorian Premiers’ Reading Challenge. This year’s theme is ‘Stories to discover. Stories to tell’. It’s all about discovering new books, and a love of reading. The Challenge is for children from birth to Year 10 and will run from March - September. Participants and their parents/carers are encouraged to set a reading goal and choose from thousands of wonderful books throughout the Challenge.

All students at Park Ridge Primary School have been enrolled, so parents/carers simply need to log in and enter the books read. Passwords and login details have been sent home by the classroom teacher and you can find the login page here. If you have any questions or experience difficulties logging in, please contact your classroom teacher for assistance.

The Challenge isn’t a competition. Everyone is on their own reading adventure. Students who complete the Challenge will receive a certificate of achievement signed by the Victorian Premier and former Premiers. Additionally, all participants will be entered into a draw to win certificates and prizes at assembly—so get reading!

Thank you 😊
