Year 9 Reading Challenge Presentations by PNBHS

Year 9 Reading Challenge

   /   
At a recent assembly, presentations were made to young men who had earned bronze, silver and gold awards in the Year 9 Reading Challenge.

Developing good literacy skills is essential for educational progress and achievement in NCEA qualifications and reading is a foundational component of this.  The Year 9 Reading Challenge encourages and rewards young men for reading, hopefully, a step towards developing a lifelong habit.

As young men finish each book during the year, they had the opportunity to talk to their English teacher or one of the librarians to have it recorded.  Congratulations to:
