This year the Chief Minister’s Reading Challenge will be open from Monday 12 February until Friday 5 July 2024.
Every year, tens of thousands of students across the ACT participate in the Chief Minister’s Reading Challenge.
My hope for the Challenge is that every young person in the ACT discovers the joy reading can bring. Once you discover this joy a whole world of adventures await you, and the knowledge you can attain is limitless.
To get the most out of the Challenge, try choosing books from different genres, sharing your favourite books and stories with your classmates, or exceeding the 15/30 books set by the Challenge. By participating you can win book vouchers for your school library.
You can choose your own books or ask your parents, teacher, librarian at your school or Library for their suggestions. This year, why don’t you challenge yourself to read something different?
Join the Challenge and marvel at all the journeys reading can take you on!
