The NSW PRC has had an outstanding year, with almost 439,000 students participating in the Challenge. Stories can inspire, encourage, and connect readers, and the Premier Dominic Perrottet MP passes on his congratulations to our school and students for their participation.
We are very proud of the 252 students who attempted the PRC this year. Congratulations to the 86 students who completed the Challenge. This is a wonderful achievement particularly given the additional challenges of 2021.

The NSW Premier’s Reading Challenge encourages students to engage with reading for leisure and pleasure, and to read from a wide range of authors, styles and genres. Students who participate in the Challenge are working towards reaching achievable goals, including building their sense of empathy and fostering a love of reading. As a community effort, the Challenge builds connections between students, their families, and the school.
Well done EHS readers!
