Victorian Premiers’ Reading Challenge

Victorian Premiers’ Reading Challenge

The Victorian Premiers’ Reading Challenge is on again this year and Wales Street Primary School is excited to be participating.

The Challenge is open to all Victorian children from birth to Year 10 in recognition of the importance of reading for literacy development. It is not a competition; but a personal challenge for children to read a set number of books by 8 September 2017.

Children from Prep to Year 2 are encouraged to read or ‘experience’ 30 books with their parents and teachers. Children from Year 3 to Year 10 are challenged to read 15 books.

All Wales Street students will be entered in the Challenge this year and we strongly encourage your child/ren to participate. It is a great tool to help parents and teachers inspire children to read and to explore new titles, genres and authors.

We will be providing each child with a username and password via COMPASS email so they can join in and record the books they read over the next 6 months.

Remember to make a list of books that you have read from mid-March, so that you can easily enter them when you receive your log on details.

All children who meet the Challenge will receive a certificate of achievement signed by the Victorian Premier and can choose to have their name included on the online Honour Roll. If you would like your child‘s name to appear on the Honour Roll, please sign the attached form and return it to the Library, your teacher or the School Office as soon as possible.

To read the Premier’s letter to parents, view the booklists and for more information about the Victorian Premiers’ Reading Challenge, visit: www.education.vic.gov.au/prc

Happy Reading

ASSEMBLY ROSTER – TERM 2

ASSEMBLY ROSTER – TERM 2

Moving into the colder and wetter part of the year we will split the school into two groups for assembly.  This means your child’s class will attend a fortnightly assembly (on an even or odd week cycle) in the hall in Term 2 and 3.  In Term 4 as the weather improves we will resume assemblies on the school oval.

During Term 2 assemblies will be now held at 9.15am in the hall to accommodate the Grade 5/6 students attending Friday afternoon winter sport.

The schedule for assemblies is attached below :
