At 91¸£Àû´óÈ« our image of the learner is well-rounded, confident, active, curious, connected, creative and enterprising. We encourage our students to discover new knowledge in a myriad of ways as part of their lifelong learning journeys. We connect our students’ learning to their interests, dreams and real-life experiences.
We build students’ skills so that they take responsibility for their own learning. This involves making choice and having a strong voice, demonstrating flexibility in thinking, critically analysing all they see and hear, collaborating productively with others, knowing when to work independently, and understanding the notion that we are all teachers and learners.
Our students learn the importance of being curators and consumers of digital content and also creators and communicators in the digital space as they prepare for life beyond school.
All students need the specified resources for the commencement of the school year. We are conscious of different family situations and invite you to contact us directly if you would like to discuss the resource requirements.

2025 Booklists
Our booklists are curated to ensure only necessary texts are purchased by families and these are supplemented with a variety of resources provided by the College.
Our resource supplier Box of Books (BoB) is an Australian company that is a world leader in the provision of digital education resources.
In many cases you will now have a choice of digital and/or physical versions of the resources and this may provide your family with significant savings as you can safely choose the digital only subscription where applicable.
Some families may already have the school prescribed texts in hard copy, either through siblings who have completed the subject in an earlier year or through the purchase of the text separately to Box of Books. Where this is the case you will still need to have your student provisioned for the digital version of the text through Box of Books. This can be purchased for a discounted cost through the platform.
If your student does not have the digital version through Box of Books then they will not have access to all the integrations and enhancements made to the texts by the College. Families are always welcome to also purchase the physical text to supplement your child’s resources at home.
Steps to order:
- Visit and sign in with your email or phone number.
- Add each student, including school email if possible, and nominate school and year group. If the school email is unknown at the time of purchase, simply click the ‘Not Sure’ button.
- Select the items you wish to purchase from the booklist shown.
- Use the checkout to organise postage and payment.
To ensure you receive all available items in time for the start of the school year and take advantage of the 10% school discount on physical texts, please order by Sunday, 8 December 2024. For orders placed after the due date, the availability of items for Back to School delivery cannot be guaranteed. After Sunday 8 December, the 10% discount on physical texts will be removed.Ìý
For further assistance, please see this short informative guide on or contact the Box of Books team through the in-app support function as on the Box of Books website.
Stationery
Students’ use of stationery is very personalised. Students collate and curate their learning in a variety of ways and can use different organisation systems to keep track of their learning. A standard Stationary Pack can be ordered through Box of Books with the option to purchase additional add-on items. Alternatively, families can source their child’s stationary from other retail outlets. Please refer to your child’s booklist to view the suggested stationery list.
Learning Diversity Supplies
Please DO NOT buy the books on the mainstream booklist or the supplies on the standard stationery list, unless requested by staff.
