Congratulations to all students who participated by reading at least 10 books over the summer holidays.
St Bernadette’s Primary School in Castle Hill had the highest number of participants with 57 students taking part.
Many of our students exceeded the target and read dozens of books over the holidays, with a few students reading over 100 books! Sebastian and Claudia Sammut from Our Lady of Mount Carmel Primary, Wentworthville read an astounding 109 books and 223 books respectively. Aryan Roy from Our Lady of Lourdes Primary, Baulkham Hills South read 170 books - also an extraordinary effort.
Executive Director Greg Whitby said it is wonderful to see so many students being inspired to read their favourite books over the school holidays.
‘The Summer Reading Challenge encourages students to read for enjoyment and I’m proud of all our participating students for making this year’s competition the biggest to date.’
All students who took part in the competition will receive participation certificates at school in coming weeks. The competition will run again next Summer, opening in the final weeks of Term 4.
