Textbook Ordering Process
Where can I find the list of textbooks needed for my child's year?

I missed the deadline to order textbooks. Can I still place an order?
Yes, you can still order! Please complete the textbook order form. We will do our best to get the textbooks for you, but please know that some textbooks might not be available if ordered late.
Is it cheaper to source & buy the textbooks yourself?
Our school's purchasing team works hard to find the best prices for textbooks. We buy in large quantities, which helps us get good prices, and we pass these savings on to you. You pay only what the textbooks cost us.
If you wish to buy textbooks from other places, you can use the textbook list (which includes ISBN numbers) found at the end of the letter linked here.
I already have some of the textbooks. Can you reduce my bill?
Yes. The order form allows you to choose only the textbooks you need. You do not have to buy textbooks you already own.
What should I do if I ordered the wrong textbook by mistake?
If you made a mistake while ordering your textbooks, please contact us right away using the Textbook feedback Form. We will do our best to help you fix the order.
How do I pay?
Payment instructions will be given with the order form. Accounts will directly invoice you after receiving your order. You can pay the bill directly to Accounts using cash, cheque or telegraphic transfer.
Textbook Content and Subject Changes
How do I know which specific textbooks my child needs for their subjects and year level?
The textbook order form is created for the whole year group. You only need to buy the textbooks for the specific subjects your child is taking.
If you are not sure which subjects your child will be taking (especially new students or those choosing languages), please contact us via Textbook feedback Form.
Certain subjects are not listed on the order form. Are textbooks needed for these, and how can I get them?
Not all subjects require a textbook. If a textbook is not listed on the order form for a subject, it means the teacher will provide all the materials needed for that subject.
What if my child changes their course or subject after ordering?
Sometimes students change courses. If you think your child might change courses, please contact us using the Textbook feedback Form. We will do our best to help you.
We can swap textbooks to match a course change within the first three weeks of the school year. The textbooks you return must be in perfect, new condition.
What should I do if I ordered the wrong textbook by mistake?
If you made a mistake while ordering your textbooks, please contact us right away using the Textbook feedback Form. We will do our best to help you fix the order.
What if my child loses a textbook later in the year?
We do not usually keep many extra textbooks. If we have a copy available, we can sell it to you. If we do not have the book in stock, our Accounts Department might be able to order a new copy for you. However, the price will include the book cost and shipping costs at that time. Shipping costs might be higher.
Textbook Collection and Order Status
When will I receive my textbooks? / What is the status of my textbook order?
You will receive an email when your textbooks are ready for collection. Students can collect their textbooks from the Student Textbook Collection room, R04 (ground floor R block).
We process orders as quickly as possible. For the first few weeks of term, students will have online access to relevant parts of the textbooks while orders are being prepared and collected.
If you have not received a collection email and are worried, especially if it has been several weeks since the start of school, please complete our Textbook feedback Form, ensuring you include your order number.
Some of the textbooks I ordered are not included in my collection. When can I expect to receive the missing books?
We always try to fulfil all orders completely. If some textbooks are out of stock, we will pack the textbooks we have and notify you when the rest of your order is ready for collection. Please note that for orders placed later in the year, we cannot always guarantee immediate availability.
