Registrations for the 2019 Premier's Reading Challenge (PRC) are now open.
The 3 types of registration are listed below.
School registration
A school registration is for Prep to Year 9 students whose participation is managed by a PRC school coordinator on behalf of a school. The PRC school coordinator will:
- register the school and classes participating in the challenge in the PRC database
- delegate a teacher to coordinate each class (if required)
- pass PRC information on to all classroom teachers
- make available a school reader record form (PDF, 86KB) for each participating student
- assist teachers to collate data from the record forms and enter into the PRC database
- submit student reading achievements from the record forms into the PRC database and preview Certificates of Achievement by Friday 6 September 2019.
When a school and class have been registered by the PRC school coordinator they can delegate a class to an individual class teacher. Each class teacher will be the main contact for PRC correspondence relating to their allocated class.
The class teacher will:
- register students participating in the challenge from their allocated class in the PRC database
- pass PRC information on to all students and parents/guardians
- liaise with the language teacher at the school about including books in additional languages
- make available a school reader record form (PDF, 86KB) for each participating student
- assist students to complete their record form
- collate data from each record form and enter into the PRC database
- assist the PRC school coordinator to finalise the school's reading achievements in the PRC database and preview Certificates of Achievement by Friday 6 September 2019.

Before registering as an individual reader, students attending a Queensland school should ensure that their school is not participating in the challenge. An individual reader registration requires the parent/guardian to be the main contact for all PRC correspondence.
Parents/guardians will:
-
register their child on the PRC database
- download and assist your child to complete an individual reader record form (PDF, 86KB)
- enter child's data from their reader record form into the PRC database and preview Certificates of Achievement by Friday 6 September 2019.
