The 2010 Challenge is open

Portrait of John Brumby

Welcome to the 2010 Premier's Reading Challenge.

Following the success of the 2009 Victorian Premier’s Reading Challenge, I invite students from Prep to Year 10 to make this year’s Challenge even more exciting than the last and break all previous Challenge records.

This will be no mean feat when you consider over 212,000 students read more than 3.8 million books in the 2009 Premier’s Reading Challenge!
