NPS enters Premier's Reading Challenge!

Better late than never, right? Newlands Primary School is excited to be participating in the Premier's reading Challenge. 

The Challenge is open to all Victorian children from birth to Year 10 in recognition of the importance of reading for literacy development. It is not a competition; but a personal challenge for children to read a set number of books by 6 September 2024.

Children from Prep to Year 2 are encouraged to read or ‘experience’ 30 books with their parents, carers and teachers. Children from Year 3 to Year 6 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.

OK, I'M IN! WHAT NEXT?

Usernames and passwords will be handed out this Monday the 3rd of June, so you will be able to login and start recording the books read. Please keep these somewhere safe. If you lose your login you can email me at kehani.webster@education.vic.gov.au and I can reset it for you.

To get the challenge started, we will be giving out a 'Reader of the Week' award for the first week of June, can't wait to see who it is!

As we are starting this challenge a little bit later than other schools, I will happily approve any books you have read this term, if you can remember them!

P.S. Thank you to our library helpers/fairies once again who are tirelessly keeping our library organised (especially the comic section!) every other Wednesday afternoon.
