Flinders House are the top Accelerated Readers this term

One of the fantastic literacy initiatives we have to encourage students to engage with reading is our Accelerated Reader programme. This is where our Year 7 and 8 students have time during their afternoon registration to read their chosen books, which can then be carried on as home learning. They can then use the Accelerated Reader portal to check their targets, progress towards their targets and take quizzes.

The initiative also forms part of our many Inter-House competitions to encourage students to develop their literacy and the reward them for their efforts and enthusiasm with their reading.

Congratulations to Flinders House who were awarded the trophy for being the top House in the Accelerated Reader programme for Terms 1 and 2.

A special mention goes to William Kruszelnicki who read 2,192,756 words and Millie Ingamells who read 1,178,714 words last term. This is an incredible number of words read by students who clearly have a passion for reading.
