Read2Remember… We remembered AND smashed a Wild World Reading Record!
Thank you to the 1,513 schools and 350, 235 children across Australia who participated in Read2Remember 2012. Through your involvement we remembered the courage, resilience and sacrifice of our brave servicemen and women while also achieving a Wild World Reading Record. We have heard many encouraging stories from schools about how R2R is building courage and resilience in their students and communities. Thank you again to everyone for making this such a special event.
