Premiers' Reading Challenge

Each year, Doncaster Primary School takes part in the Victorian Premiers' Reading Challenge along with thousands of other school aged children. 

 

So far, 74 DPS students have completed the challenge and over 2000 books have been read! 

Here is what some DPS students have said about the books they read:

 

Benita 6C

The name jar

★★★★★

This book I could relate to, coming from the other side of the world.

Zoey 6C

Sick bay

★★★★★

Extremely amazing. So relatable and kept me on my toes.

 

Cohen 6C

Ocean renegades!

★★★★★

It was nice to see what life was like in the Paleozoic era before the Dinosaurs ruled the world.

 

Message from the Premier

It’s my absolute pleasure to welcome you to the 2024 Victorian Premiers’ Reading Challenge.

This is my first Reading Challenge as Premier – and I am so excited to get started.

Since the Challenge began, more than 4.3 million young Victorians have read more than 60 million books.

That includes my own kids - with reading one of the best ways we spend time together as a family.

This year’s Challenge is a chance for all of us to explore new books and find new favourites.

With the help of your families and teachers, you’ll learn about different things, and enjoy stories that take you to different places.

But most importantly, I hope you’ll develop a love of reading together.

So please, sign up for the Challenge. And read as many different types of books as you can.

Explore. Learn. Most importantly, enjoy.

Happy reading,

 

We encourage all Doncaster Primary School students to celebrate their love of reading by completing the challenge. It finishes on 6th September.
