Better Beginnings

Every child should have the very important experience of sharing books with the adults in their life from the time they are born.

A special space for children aged 0-8 and their parents or carers.
Did you know that it's never too early to read to your child?
Students from Kindergarten to Year 10 are invited to read and log 12 or more book titles during the challenge. This year there are new and more extraordinary prizes for the readers.
