IT was a battle of literacy skills at Dunkeld Consolidated School on Wednesday when teams from six different schools went head-to-head to win the 2022 Readers Cup.

The Readers Cup is run as part of the students’ Mobile Area Resource Centre (MARC) Van experience, which sees the mobile library travel to different schools across the Southern Grampians Shire so students can borrow books and explore texts.
