FOUR young bookworms from St Joseph’s Catholic School in Atherton have successful won the regional Readers Cup, securing the school’s second back-to-back victory. 

Kaylee Angel, Amelia Tomasetig and Hannah Schrale in year five along with Grace Folino-Gallo, a year six student, all traveled down to Cairns to compete in the regional year 5-6 Readers Cup, beating out their competition and securing their place for the state finals. 

The state finals will be held in Brisbane in September and all the girls are looking forward to once again representing their school in the Readers Cup. 

“We feel very proud and excited to have won,” they said.

“We worked hard, lots of late nights. 

“We are nervous about the state finals but also excited.”

The girls had to study six pre-selected books from there they take notes, ask each other questions and study the books in as much detail as possible. 

Leader of learning and teaching at Saint Joseph’s and Readers Cup facilitator Kylie Lennon said the girls had worked hard studying the books for the Readers Cup. 

“We build a big culture around it (Readers Cup) here at school, so we introduce the competition of a mini scale here in house,” she said.

"It acts as a stimulus to then promote reading and the love of reading.”
