The Premier's Reading Challenge is an initiative of the NSW Department of Education.

It starts in March each year and finishes 20th August 2014.

Students use their own secure portal link to record online the books they've read.

Our school library has a lot of the books on the lists. Students are expected to choose from our library

to develop the skills required for these tasks.

Years K-2 students can experience their books; Years 3-6 students read their books independently.

To experience a book, a child can listen to the book, participate in a shared reading of the book

or read part or all of the book independently.

Student Reading Records can be entered online from 3rd March 2014.

Students can enter their books as they read them.

Students log in with their Student Portal Login Username and Password

An electronic Student Reading Record is completed by either entering the PRC ID number of each book or clicking on titles from a drop-down PRC list. Many choice books can also be selected from a drop-down list.

Alternately, a Reading log can be downloaded (or picked up from the Library)

and a written record can be made. This must be handed in well before closing date.

A certificate is issued at the end of the school year to all Students who complete the year's Challenge.

Students are encouraged to complete muliple challenges, however, only one certificte is issued.

After 4 years the Certificate earned is Gold and after 7 years the Certificate is Platinum.
