Victorian Premiers’ Reading Challenge Pizza Party
Students of 7C and 8I enjoyed a pizza party in the Library on Wednesday November 24 to reward their Victorian Premiers’ Reading Challenge efforts.
7C and 8I were the top reading classes in their year levels, finishing 619 and 253 books respectively.
The Library team is looking forward to running the Challenge at EDSC again next year.
We’ve received great constructive feedback from students and will continue to make improvements for an even better Challenge in 2022.
Students should keep an eye out for information on how to take part in the new year.

Some Frequently Asked Questions:
What is Campion?
Campion is a third party company that EDSC uses to administer our booklist and supply new books to students.
Do I have to buy everything on the list?
You need to buy everything listed for the subjects your student is enrolled in. However, general stationery items such as pens and rulers do not need to be purchased from Campion if you already own these items or can source them elsewhere.
Do I have to buy books through Campion, or can I buy second-hand books elsewhere?
You don’t have to buy your student’s books through Campion. However, there is a risk of buying incorrect editions of textbooks from other parties, as textbooks are revised regularly. If you’d like to buy second-hand books, we recommend buying them through the Sustainable School Shop. This company has been supplied with the EDSC booklist and can help ensure you buy the correct editions.
If you buy a second hand book, you should also check whether you need to purchase a digital code to access any extra online resources required.
Why am I charged $15.95 at the end of my order?
Campion charges a $5.95 processing fee for all orders. Orders will also be charged a $10 home delivery fee as due to COVID-19, school delivery and pick-up is unable to take place. However, you may be able to organise order pick-up from Campion by contacting Campion directly.
Do we have to bring all the books in on the first day of school?
No, you can stagger what you bring in to make it easier. You will get information about what is needed on day one.
