Adventures in the Library
Premier’s Reading Challenge 2020
“Reading is a passport to countless adventures.” In a year of many changes, it is comforting to know that some things don’t change. So, even though we could not travel very far this year, we could still escape to other places.
In 2020, the students in Years F-5 were once again involved in the Premier’s Reading Challenge. To complete the challenge, students had to read 12 books between February and September.
Congratulations to the following students who completed the challenge this year. They will receive their awards at the end-of-year assembly.
