The NSW Premier's Reading Challenge (PRC) is an initiative of the NSW State government. It aims to encourage in students a love of reading for leisure and pleasure and to enable them to experience quality literature.

Students in Kindergarten and Year 1 will complete this challenge in their classroom. All students from Years 2-6 were supplied with an information sheet and permission slip to return to school if they are interested. Please see Ms Martins and Mrs Burrows if you need any support or clarification. The students that have returned their permission slips will be provided with their login name and passcode (it’s the same as previous years) during week 11.
