2025 Premier's Reading Challenge

Welcome to the NSW Premier's Reading Challenge 
The Challenge aims to encourage a love of reading for leisure and pleasure in students, and to enable them to experience quality literature. 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 open to all NSW students in Kindergarten to Year 10, in government, independent, Catholic and home schools. If you need help using the website and the answer cannot be found on the PRC Support site, please contact us at prc@det.nsw.edu.au 

The 2024 Challenge now CLOSED.
If you need to validate a completed reading record, please contact the PRC team. If you need to enter books onto a student reading record, you will need to complete a post-challenge validation application.
