Premier's Reading Challenge - 2022

All students at Wirreanda Public School are participating in the Premier's Reading Challenge (PRC).

K-2 students complete the challenge as a whole class, with their teacher selecting 30 PRC books to read to them.

3-6 students complete the challenge individually and must read at least 20 books by the 19th of August. The majority of these books must be selected from the allocated PRC section in the library; however, students can log a maximum of 5 books that are not part of this section, e.g. other books in the library, books from home etc.

Students who complete the challenge will receive a PRC certificate. Don't forget to list the books you have read in your PRC reading log.
