Get ready for the 2012 Premiers’ Reading Challenge!
Every year, the Premier of Victoria invites all students from Years Prep to 10 to take part in the Victorian Premiers’ Reading Challenge. This initiative encourages students to develop their love of reading and their literacy skills, with the support of their teachers, schools, parents and classmates.
The Premier of Victoria, The Hon. Ted Baillieu, MP, is the Patron of the Challenge, but the Challenge enjoys the support of former Premiers: Steve Bracks, John Brumby, John Cain, Jeff Kennett, and Joan Kirner. The Premiers’ support strengthens the Challenge and also provides a new name: the Victorian Premiers’ Reading Challenge.
The 2011 Premiers’ Reading Challenge broke all previous records, with 220,000 students across Victoria taking part, and we are looking forward to an even bigger year in 2012.
The 2012 Premiers’ Reading Challenge opens in February 2012.
