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.

1,059 children participated and read over 8,931 books over the last Summer, with prizes including a scooter, vouchers, books and stationery.

We look forward to running the program again this year.
