Premier's Reading Challenge

The 2022 Premier's Reading Challenge has begun for Year 7 students and will end in September with a celebration and awards.

Year 7 students will be shown how to log-in when their class visits the Library, but can also obtain their username and password from Mrs O'Beirne at any time. 

Number of books: 15

Number of books from the Challenge book list: 10 or more

Most of the books you read should be from the Challenge book lists. The Premier's reading Challenge (PRC) website can tell students if the book they are reading is on the list, while the rest can be any book you choose.  

The Library is full of PRC books and are easily identified by a sticker on the spine. 

You can read books on the book list for your year level or a level above and they'll count towards your Challenge total. 

You should check with your teachers or parents if you're not in Year 9 or 10 and want to read a book from that list. This list includes titles for mature readers. You can read a book from a level below your year level if your teacher agrees. You still need to read the number of books for your year level to meet the Challenge.

You can also count the books you read for the MS Readathon in the Challenge. More information regarding the MS Readthon will be available in August.

Students can also obtain St Brigid's College Commendation points for the number of books they read. 10 books per Semester = 20 Commendation points

Any students that are in Years 8 - 12 and wish to participate can contact Mrs O'Beirne in the Library and she can help with your registration.
