This challenge is aimed at encouraging students 'to read, to read more, to read more widely'.

PRC - getting organised (pdf 227 KB)
To further assist students in completing the challenge all the books in our collection that are on the PRC lists are labeled on the spine for easy identification, and labels have also been added to the inside cover with the PRC book number to allow students to very easily record their chosen books.
The Challenge runs from March through to August each year. Students are also eligible to record books read after the closure date and add them to their challenge for the following year.
Students can also use Oliver to identify books that are included in the PRC.
