Kurmond Public School achieves 100% success in Premier’s Reading Challenge 

In a testament to their love for literature, Kurmond Public School has triumphed in the Premier’s Reading Challenge for the second successive year. The Challenge is designed to ignite a passion for reading and encourage students to become readers and/or to read more. 

For years, Kurmond Public School has championed the cause of nurturing young minds through the pages of books. However, in the past two years the school has achieved a flawless 100% success rate in completing the Premier’s Reading Challenge, culminating just last week.

“I am so proud of our school at having achieved 100% of students completing the Premier’s Reading Challenge once again this year,” Principal Kurmond Public School, Patricia Beggs said.

“We are so grateful to have a wonderful teacher librarian, Mrs Allerton and a dedicated staff who encourage our students to read and develop a love of reading at every opportunity,” Beggs said.

This week amidst Book Week celebrations students will bring to school their favourite book to share.Students and staff alike took “shelfies” photos of themselves showing off their favourite book in front of a bookshelf in the library.

Allerton said that through these events, the Kurmond PS endeavours to keep students’ love of reading alive. “From the enthusiasm shown among the students, it is easy to see that this dream is being achieved,” she said.
