Why? to celebrate Book Week and raise money for P&C programs. Download the forms.
To participate, children ask family and friends to sponsor them per page or to make a donation. Record sponsors on the Sponsorship Form.
Students then read as many pages as they can between Saturday 17 August and Sunday 2 September. Record the books they read (and how many pages) on the My Completed Books Form and ask a parent or teacher to initial each book they complete.
Yes, children can record the same books for the Read-a-Thon and Premier's Reading Challenge.
After Sunday 2 September, add up the grand total of pages to calculate what sponsors owe and collect the pledges. Pay via Qkr! and return forms (and cash if needed) to the P&C box at the school office by 3pm on Friday 7 September 2018.
There will be prizes for
- most pages read — junior and senior
- most money raised — junior and senior
- extra prizes for excellent effort each grade
'The content of a book holds the power of education and it is with this power that we can shape our future and change lives. There is no greater weapon than knowledge and no greater source of knowledge than the written word.’
