The NSW Premier’s Reading Challenge encourages students to participate in an ongoing reading program, reading a set number of books at their own reading level. It is not a competition, but a challenge to each student - to read, to read more and to read more widely.

The NSW Premier’s Reading Challenge for 2023 started on Monday 27 February and concludes Friday 18 August 2023. We would encourage everyone to participate in this worthwhile Challenge.

What does the challenge involve?

Kindergarten to Year 2 students need to experience 30 books, 20 of these books need to come from the K-2 PRC booklists. 10 books can be their own free choice. Students can read the books on their own or be read to by parents/carers.

Years 3-6 students need to read 20 books, 10 of these books must be on the PRC booklists and 10 books can be their own free choice.

PRC books can be found in our school library and in local council libraries. For the PRC booklists, please visit: https://online.det.nsw.edu.au/prc/booklist/home.html
