Mayor Toppin Visits Dimbulah State School for
2025 Mayor's Reading Challenge Presentation
On Tuesday, Mayor Toppin visited Dimbulah State School to present certificates to students who successfully completed the 2025 Mayor's Reading Challenge. She congratulated all participants on their achievement and shared inspiring words about the importance of reading every day, encouraging students to practise regularly to become confident, lifelong readers.
