Our Biggest Challenge Ever!

Each year we challenge our students at St Brigid's to complete the Premier’s Reading Challenge (PRC).  This year will be our biggest challenge yet - since we've lost all our library books in the fire! 

This could be a really good news story for our school. 

Imagine if all our students tried really hard to complete the Challenge this year. 

The headline could read School Loses All its Books and Still Completes the Challenge!

PRC books can be found at home, borrowed from local libraries or read online as eBooks. It's very easy to find PRC eBooks through Oliver. Simply type “premier 3-4” or “premier 5-6” in the search bar. 

For students from Kindergarten to Year 2, class teachers will read 30 PRC books to them and these are entered online. Each child will receive a certificate at the end of the year. 

When students reach Year 3, the onus is on them to read books independently and enter the titles online. Some students may need their parents’ help when entering titles online.

Students in Years 3 – 6 must read 20 books in total and of these 5 can be personal choice books, with at least 15 from the PRC list for their grade. All the rules for the PRC can be found on this site https://online.det.nsw.edu.au/prc/home.html , along with booklists for each level. 

I'll be encouraging students to get into the spirit of the Challenge and we will have a chart for each class, to keep track of their progress.

Don't forget this could be our BIGGEST CHALLENGE EVER!
