Pupils at St Carlo Borromeo Primary School are hitting the books for this year’s Victorian Premiers’ Reading Challenge.
More than 45 students at the Greenvale school have completed the challenge, which began in February.
The youngsters have read a total of more than 2600 books between them.
Children in prep, grade one and two must read 30 books to complete the reading challenge.
Pupils in grades three to 10 are required to read 15 books or more.
More than 2.5 million young Victorians have read more than 45 million books since the Victorian Premiers’ Reading Challenge was launched in 2005 – enough books to fill almost 11 Olympic-sized swimming pools. This year’s challenge will finish on September 7.
