Victorian Premiers’ Reading Challenge 2025

The Victorian Premiers’ Reading Challenge is now open and St Cecilia’s is excited to be taking part!

The Challenge is open to all Victorian children from birth to Year 10 and aims to help young readers develop a lifelong love of reading. 

It is not a competition; it is a personal challenge for children to read a set number of books by Friday 5th September 2025.

Since it began in 2005, more than 4.5 million young readers have taken part and together read more than 63 million books!

This year, the Challenge is celebrating its 20th anniversary with the theme ‘20 years of words and wonder’ 

Children from Prep to Year 2 are encouraged to read or ‘experience’ 30 books with their parents and teachers. Children from Year 3 to Year 10 are challenged to read 15 books.

All children who meet the Challenge will receive a certificate of achievement signed by the Victorian Premier and former Premiers.
