Premier's Reading Challenge
This year our students again have the opportunity to participate in the Tasmanian Premier’s Reading Challenge.
The Tasmanian Premier's Reading Challenge is open to all students from Kinder to Year 9. It began on Monday 16th June and ends on Sunday 24th August.
How many books will you read in 10 weeks? Set your personal reading goal for the Challenge, grab some books, start reading and see how you go!
You are free to choose any books you want to read for the Challenge. You can read books in a variety of formats including print, digital, audiobooks and graphic novels. For younger children, a book that is read to them counts toward their total. Larger chapter books can be counted as more than one book.
Students will need to complete a log book as part of the challenge, and all students who return a completed log book to the school office will receive a signed certificate from the Premier of Tasmania.
Log books will be sent home with students prior to the commencement of the challenge, and extras are available from the school office, or they can be downloaded by clicking on the following links:
All completed log books are due to the school office by Friday 29th August.
