NSW Premier's Reading Challenge
The NSW Premier’s Reading Challenge (PRC) is not a competition but a challenge to each student - to read, to read more and to read more widely. The program involves nearly 400,000 students and more than 2,600 government, non-government and home schools. The PRC booklists open doors to a rich collection of children’s literature representing a range of books including fiction, non-fiction, picture books, poetry and drama, and include a wide variety of Australian authors.
2023 dates

- Closing date for coordinator validations – Friday 1 September 2023
Missed validation?
If you have a completed student reading record (SRR) from previous years that has not been validated, please email the PRC team ASAP with details of the records to be validated. If you have incomplete entries that require additional book entries and validation, you are required to complete the post-challenge validation process. This requires Principal application and authorisation.
