PREMIER'S READING CHALLENGE 

Each year our school participates in the NSW Premier's Reading Challenge (PRC). 

This is a voluntary extra-curricular activity that needs to be supported by parents/carers. Once your child has been registered, this is an activity which requires you (the parent/carer) to record and update your child's record. We help and support this activity; however you must be involved to monitor, encourage, and record online. If you are not prepared to do this, please do not register your child. 

Due to a change in online security requirements, the PRC team have re-issued passwords for ALL previous participants. Therefore, even if you did save the log-in details from previous years, it is very important for you to re-register your child/ren so that I can issue the new password details to you. Without your permission and current contact details, I will not be able to forward the new passwords. 

NB: The PRC team is experiencing IT issues and are unable to issue any passwords for NEW participants. Please keep a written record of the books that are being read by or to your child. When you receive the login and password, you can then enter all these books at the same time. The PRC team will be extending the deadline for St Greg's due to the current IT issues but have yet to set an actual date. I will communicate the new deadlines once the majority of access issues have been resolved by the PRC team.

If you are interested in the challenge for your child, please download and read the attached the Parent Letter and return the registration form to the Library. If you are unable to print this form, I will have hard copies available at both libraries. 

If you would like more information about the PRC, please follow the link to the PRC website: https://online.education.nsw.gov.au/prc/home.html
