Victorian Premiers' Reading Challenge - Early May Heroes

Educators cannot stress enough how important reading is for equipping young people to live well in our world. In fact, our English Department at the Senior School is investing time this year in developing a Community of Practice around this vital skill, working with external experts (more about this next week). One easy way for parents to support their children with this skill is to read to, with and in front of their children. Another, is to encourage them to participate in opportunities, such as the reading challenge.

This week I have arbitrarily selected 15 as the point at which to celebrate reading success. These amazing students are currently listed as having read 15 or more titles:
