Premiers' Reading Challenge

South Melbourne Park Primary School is a Victorian Premiers' Reading Challenge School! The Challenge encourages children and students from birth to year 10 to read a set number of books over the year and record their efforts online. Since the Challenge first began in 2005, more than 3 million students have read nearly 50 million books.

Thank you to our volunteers!

A big thank you to our wonderful volunteers that have helped out in the library covering books. It is such an important task as the books cannot be borrowed until they are covered and categorised.

Some of our favourite things!

What to do on the holidays? We asked our Teachers and Staff for their favourite books and movies, so here is the list:
