Each school holidays there are activities for you to join in.  The schedule is usually available three weeks prior to the holidays.

The Premiers Reading Challenge runs every year from February to September. The Premier's Reading Challenge (PRC) is available for all NSW students in Kindergarten to Year 9, in government, independent, Catholic and home schools.

The Challenge aims to encourage in students a love of reading for leisure and pleasure, and to enable students to experience quality literature. It is not a competition but a challenge to each student to read, to read more and to read more widely. The Premier's Reading Challenge is an initiative of the NSW State government with principal support from the Dymocks Literacy Foundation and OPSM and media partner, The Sun-Herald.

How do I find the PRC books in the library?

Not all books listed on the Premier's Reading Challenge list will be in the library.  The library books from the K-2, 3-4 and 5-6 groups have been catalogued so if you type in for example, 'premier's reading challenge K-2' in the catalogue as an 'anyword' search, they will be listed.  You can reserve these from home.

All K-2, 3-4 and 5-6 books in our collection have a sticker on them.
