Victorian Premiers' Reading Challenge 2022

The Victorian Premiers’ Reading Challenge for 2022 has commenced and runs until 16th September 2022. The challenge recognises the importance of reading for literacy development. All students have been registered to be part of the challenge but the challenge is not compulsory. 

To log in as a student you must use a username and password that has been registered through the school (available from your child’s teacher or from the office). Parents and children are able to access the internet site, view the details and add books when completed.

To complete the challenge, students in Prep-Year 2 need to read 30 books (including 20 books from the challenge booklist) and students in Years 3-6 must read 15 books (including 10 books from the challenge booklist) by 16th September 2022. The books may be from the school, home or public library. To assist students in choosing library books on the challenge list we have placed a white dot on the cover of some of our books.

Once you have added all of the books that your child has read and they have completed the challenge, the list needs to be verified by the school office. Please contact the school office via email office@santglen.catholic.edu.au to confirm that your child has read all the books on their list and request that the reading list be verified. Please do this by 14th September 2022 to ensure the office staff have time to verify all entries. All children who meet the Challenge will receive a certificate of achievement signed by the Victorian Premier and former Premiers.
