2023 Premier's Reading Challenge

Take the Challenge!!

Whether you love reading or not, this is a challenge that will entertain you, help improve your reading skills, analytical skills, vocabulary and more.

It is not a competition but a challenge to each student to read, to read more and to read more widely.

The Premier's Reading Challenge (PRC) is available for all NSW students in Kindergarten to Year 9.


Audiobooks can now be used to complete the challenge – this is really useful for many students who prefer (or need) this format and want to participate in the challenge. Over coming weeks we will be highlighting the Audiobook titles in the shared collections that are on the PRC lists. 

PRC Rule updates: There have been updates to a number of PRC Challenge Rules. Please ensure you have familiarised yourself with these on our Rules page before the Challenge opens. 

Download your reading log here!

The Librarians at school will help you log the books you are reading on the PRC website.

All PRC Books are marked with a dot on its spine 

Jenna Smith and Anthony Iacovazzi received the prestigious PRC Medal last year (2020) after completing the challenge for 9 years! Congratulations!
