Its nearly that time of year again – the winter reading challenge for Makaawhio tamariki and rakatahi will be taking place 11-22 July. Whānau are invited to pick up the challenge and enter. It’s simple, all you need to do is read something every day of the school holidays and tick the form to acknowledge you have.

There are no rules around what you read, it can be anything (for example; a few pages of a book, a magazine, newspaper, online apps). You don’t need to read a whole book (unless you want to), just set aside time to read each day.

Every entry gets a prize and all names go into a draw for two major prizes. Contact the office for entry forms.
