Premier's Reading Challenge - 2013


Message from the Premier of NSW


Congratulations to the 230,000 students around the state who successfully completed the Reading Challenge last year. The number has grown steadily for the past eleven years, so I expect that there will be even more young people eager to take on the Challenge in 2013.

Reading transports us into other worlds and lives. It allows us to experience a whole range of exciting stories and explore issues which can challenge the way we think and feel.

Students who accept the Challenge this year will have even more books from which to choose. With over 7000 books now on the booklist, the Challenge offers students an opportunity to read widely. I encourage all participants to be adventurous in their reading and add as many different types of books as they can to their reading records.
The world of books is an exciting one. I welcome you to the 2013 Premier's ReadingChallenge and I wish you all happy reading.

The Premier's Reading Challenge is on again. It goes from March 1st until August 31st, so there is plenty of time for you to read books and enter them on the Challenge!

Check the table below to find out how many books you need to read. The teachers from Kindergarten to Year 2 will read books to their class and then enter the books online. Students from Year 3 to Year 6 will read the books and enter them online themselves. You will need to use your PRC log on details. Write them in your diary so you don't forget!
