25.01.2022 Congratulations to the thousands of students across Victoria who have taken part in the Premiers’ Reading Challenge this year! Signed certificates from Premier Daniel Andrews and former premiers are now being sent out to those who completed the challenge. The Premiers’ Reading Challenge was established to inspire more children to read, helping to build essential literacy skills that support their education.... More than 3 million students have read more than 51 million books since it began. To complete the challenge, students in Years 3 to 10 needed to read at least 15 books in the six months from March to September. For Prep to Year 2 students, the challenge was to read or experience 30 books.
