Mission of the project

The Well Read Initiative is designed to grow a Reading School Culture.


As a school we aim to:

"Foster an enjoyment of reading among children and young people"

National Literacy and Numeracy Strategy


However, enjoying reading comes not only from the enthusiasm of a teacher in a classroom but also from the magical world of make believe that Parents create at home when reading. 


As such, we will strive to promote a reading culture not only among the students but among Teachers, Parent and the Community.
