BIG Summer Read

BIG Summer Read runs during the summer school holidays every year.

The goal of BIG Summer Read is to foster a love of reading in children.

253 children participated and read over 6043 books over the last Summer, with prizes including a vouchers for Bounce Keysborough, Melbourne Cable Park, Goanna Golf and many more.

We look forward to running the program again this year.
