High Achievers in 7 to 10 Reading Initiatives 2016

In Term 3 all students in Years 7 to 10 English participated in Target Reading (7 & 8) and Aim High (9 & 10) Reading Initiatives designed to develop a good reading habit and to encourage them to read more, thus improving their literacy levels. Evidence suggests that reading for pleasure leads to increased success at school and in tertiary study. Students who read more are also better readers. (Department for Education, United Kingdom,. Research Evidence On Reading For Pleasure. 1st ed. 2012. Web. 28 Apr. 2015.)

I would like to congratulate the following students who achieved their reading girls and were nominated by their English teachers for their outstanding efforts in the Reading Initiatives. These students enjoyed a special Pizza Lunch with the Principal, Mrs Archer, and their English teachers and will be presented with a special Certificate of Achievement at the next College Assembly.
