Support A Reader

Sts Peter and Paul’s offers a Support-A-Reader Program for students in Years Two and Three.  This program is held on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday afternoons from 1.55pm-2.55pm. Individual students are selected by their class teacher and the Support Teacher Inclusive Education to read with a supportive adult for a twenty minute session. This provides the students with the opportunity to practise and develop their reading skills in the vital early years of learning. The students love to participate and benefit hugely from the sessions.

The success of the program relies on the generosity of our volunteers who consist of parents and members of our parish community. We welcome all volunteers. It is a great way to meet other members of the community as well as helping our young learners. All volunteers who are not parents at the school require a current Blue card. This can be arranged with assistance from ​the school office.
