Students who have completed the Challenge for the year are to be entered via EMS.

Data entry for Government schools open on Monday 6 July and closes on Friday 18 September 2026.

An email will be sent to the school’s PRC coordinators containing a link with the latest EMS Premier’s Reading Challenge information. This provides detailed instructions on how schools should submit student data.

If you require any assistance with EMS, please contact the Department for Education ICT Service Desk on 8204 1866.

A few notes:

*  Please check the spelling of names for any new students.
*  You do not need to enter the books the students have read.
*  Please check if each student has ‘Consent to Print’ for their name to appear on the Hall of Fame Honour Roll and mark this where applicable as you enter the students.
*  An email will be sent to you, before we send awards, with a list of all entered students and the awards they are due to receive.
Please make a time to check the list and request any changes, additions or deletions.
