Premier’s Reading Challenge

Four students at Evans High School have already received the Premier’s Reading Challenge certificate for the year 2024. Two of those students, Revanti Kumar and Maisa Farzana are shown below holding their certificates. We were very also proud to announce that one of our students, Jack Tasker, received the Platinum Award for 7 years of successful continuous reading. Jack received a letter and a medal from the organisers of the Premier’s Reading Challenge for his achievement. We would like to congratulate him on his achievement and we also implore him to encourage others to explore the worlds that can be found between the pages.

All students can start reading for the Premier’s Reading Challenge 2025 right now, and all previous reading will be included in the reading record.
