PREMIERS READING CHALLENGE
2019 NSW Premier’s Reading Challenge
The NSW Premier’s Reading Challenge aims to encourage a love of reading for leisure and pleasure in students, and to enable them to experience quality literature. It is not a competition but a challenge to each student - to read, to read more and to read more widely.
The 2019 Premier’s Reading Challenge starts
Monday, 4 March (Term 1 / week 6) and closes at midnight on Friday, 30 August (Term 3 / week 6).
If your child is interested in completing the challenge, please log onto the NSW Premier’s Reading Challenge website to enter the codes or titles of the books read. The website is: https://online.det.nsw.edu.au/prc/logon.html
Then proceed to Logon. The username and password is your child’s Department Internet login name and his/her individual password.
Official rules, booklists and codes are on this site as well.
Students will need to complete the challenge at home and enter their books on the PRC website.
