For the past 10 weeks our students have been participating with thousands of students across Tasmania in the Premier's Reading Challenge. A big aim of the PRC is to help students work out what they love to read so that reading will be easier – so students are encouraged to try reading different things – fiction, non-fiction – blogs, comics, poetry, lyrics, essays, magazines, newspapers… it all counts in the PRC. 

At Exeter Primary School, each grade was challenged to achieve a number of reading goals. These achievements were tracked on class posters in the library and in classrooms. 74 students from grade 3-6 achieved each of our school-based challenges and the winning class was 3-4 Duncan. These students enjoyed a pizza lunch to celebrate. In the 1-2 classes, the winning class to receive a sticker sheet and have an extra playground playtime was 1-2KP.

A big thank you to Mrs Clarke and class teachers for supporting students with this program.

Remember, reading is a skill we need for life.  Let’s keep helping our children to read!!
