Have you started logging your books yet?

The Victorian Premiers’ Reading Challenge is a fantastic opportunity for students to discover new stories, develop a love of reading and celebrate their reading achievements throughout the year.

Students should now have their login details to begin recording the books they have read. Whether your child enjoys picture books, chapter books, graphic novels or non-fiction, every book read is another step towards completing the challenge.

Reading together at home, visiting your local library, or setting aside a few minutes each day to enjoy a good book can make a big difference in building lifelong reading habits.

If you require any support accessing your child's account or need their login details again, please contact your child's classroom teacher, who will be happy to assist.

Happy reading, Saltwater families! 📖✨

Year 9 Soccer Team Shines with Sportsmanship at Intermediate Secondary Interschool Tournament

The Year 9 Soccer Team represented Saltwater College with pride at the Intermediate Secondary Interschool Soccer Tournament, competing with determination, skill, and outstanding sportsmanship throughout the day. Facing some strong opposition, the team played valiantly in every match and demonstrated resilience, teamwork, and respect both on and off the field.

The entire Saltwater College community should be extremely proud of the way the team conducted themselves, consistently displaying the ethical standards and core values that define our college. Their sportsmanship, respect for opponents, and support for one another were a credit to both themselves and Saltwater College. Well done, boys, on an outstanding tournament and for representing the school with such distinction. ⚽👏🏆
