NSW Premier’s Reading Challenge 2020
The NSW Premier’s Reading Challenge was launched in 2001 to encourage a love of reading for pleasure and to enable students to experience quality literature. It is not a competition but a challenge to every student to read more often and to read more widely. The Challenge is open to all NSW students up to Year 9.
The NSW Reading Challenge is compulsory for Year 7 students attending St Andrews College. It is open to all students up to Year 9 and students are encouraged to participate in this Challenge.
