NSW Premiers Reading Challenge (PRC)
The Premier's Reading Challenge has now finished for 2018. Participating students will receive their certificates at the end of the year.
The PRC for students in Years K-2 is completed with the class teacher and teacher librarian.
Participating students in Years 3-6 will be given time during class and library to complete the challenge, although reading for the PRC at home greatly assists completion.

Scholastic Book Club
Book Club brochures are distributed to students twice a term except in Term 3 due to our school Book Fair. Students order books and resources from the brochure. Orders can be sent to school or placed through the Linked Online Ordering & Payment (LOOP) platform. Every order earns points for our school which is converted to books and resources for the school library.
Book Week
In 2018, we celebrated book week with a book fair which raised over $2500 worth of resources for the school.
Many thanks, enjoy your reading.
The book parade and treasue hunt on Wednesday 5th September was an outstanding success. Around 95% of staff and students participated in dressing up as their favourite book character, a large audience of parents, guardians and extended family came to watch the parade, students participated in various book week activities and thoroughly enjoyed finding the codes and solving the puzzles for the treasure hunt.
