Readers Cup Team Announced
The Chevallum State School Readers Cup team for 2021 has been announced. This year our team will comprise Eva Tollan, Nathaniel Buxton, April Smith, Myla Delforce and Freya Brunton.
Again this year we had many students trying out for the team and due to our strong reading culture we are fortunate to be able to form a great team of students who love reading and will enter into the spirit of the challenge.
Thank you to all the students who tried out for the team and I would encourage any students in Yr 5 to try out again next year and those in Yr 6 to ask about Readers Cup when they go to High School.
The Regional Readers Cup will take place on June 17th at Immanuel Lutheran College and our team will join over 20 state and private schools in taking on the Readers Cup challenge.
Once again we thank the families of Chevallum for growing great readers.
What is Readers Cup?
Readers Cup is organised by the Qld Branch of the Children’s Book Council of Australia. It is a state wide completion for young readers. Teams of students together read a set of books and then compete with other teams to answer quiz questions from the books. Teams successful at their Regional events go on to the State Readers Cup in Term 4.
Readers Cup competitions challenge students to read widely, work collaboratively in a team and continue developing a love of reading. It allows readers to compete at a regional and state level and to meet other students with a shared passion for literature
