Premier’s opening message for the Premiers’ Reading Challenge.

Message from the Premier

Welcome to the 2025 Victorian Premiers' Reading Challenge.

The Challenge is about helping young Victorians discover new books, and a love of reading.

And this year the Challenge is even more special – celebrating its 20th birthday!

Over the past 20 years, more than 4.5 million young Victorians have taken up the Challenge – and I'm thrilled that you're joining them.

If you're looking for more – you can follow the official Victorian Premiers' Reading Challenge Facebook page and join a community of participating parents, teachers and families.

Good luck to everyone picking up a book this year, and most importantly, happy reading!
