Welcome to the 2012 Premiers’ Reading Challenge
Welcome to the Victorian Premiers’ Reading Challenge
As patron of the Victorian Premiers’ Reading Challenge, and on behalf of former Premiers John Cain, Joan Kirner, Jeff Kennett, Steve Bracks and John Brumby, I am delighted to declare the eighth annual Premiers’ Reading Challenge open.
2012 is the National Year of Reading, and I hope this year’s Challenge will inspire more students than ever before to discover the magic of books.
Last year Victorian students broke all previous Challenge records with 222,000 participants reading more than four million books. I have no doubt that this year’s Challenge will attract even more readers, and I know that my confidence is shared by our former Premiers as well.
Together we look forward to hearing of the discoveries and achievements of everyone who accepts this year’s Challenge.
Let the reading adventures begin!
Ted Baillieu MLA
Premier of Victoria
