Citipointe Christian College

For students at Citipointe Christian College, reading isn’t just homework – it’s part of who they are. From their first steps in the Home Reading Program to the freedom of choosing books through Accelerated Reader, every child experiences reading as something personal, engaging, and rewarding.

Teachers guide students through daily reading sessions, using Star Reading data to personalise goals and celebrate progress along the way. In every classroom, children discuss books, take quizzes, and set their next challenges – building confidence, comprehension, and a lasting connection to literature.

With more than 363 million words read by Term 3, 2025, Citipointe’s community of readers continues to grow stronger each year, driven by shared passion and purpose.

Yet, as Head of Research and Study Natasha Georgiou explains, there was a missing piece. 

“We needed to have some form of data to see how students’ reading comprehension was progressing,” Natasha Georgiou recalls. “NAPLAN and PAT didn’t show progress throughout the current year.”
