- Year 10 & 12s textbook order forms will be sent out Thursday, 22-08-2024
Where are the list of textbooks?
Textbook lists can be found in the letters here.
How do I order the textbooks?
You will be emailed a link to the Textbook Order Form in the period stated in the letter here. If you do not have this link please complete the Textbook Enquiry Form.
When will I receive my books?
Students and parents will receive an email notifying them when their textbooks are ready for collection. Students can collect at the Student Textbook Collection room located in R04 (ground floor R block). All students will have electronic access to the relevant chapters of the books for the first few weeks of term whilst orders are processed and collections occur.
Is it cheaper to source & buy the textbooks yourself?
JIS purchasing department has been working hard to find the best possible prices for your child's textbooks. The bulk purchasing allows us to offer competitive prices and we pass that saving on to you. We provide the supply of textbooks to you at cost. If you do wish to source the textbooks independently then please use the textbook list (with ISBN) at the end of this letter.
I already have some of the books. Can you reduce my bill?
Yes. The system is flexible for you to select only the textbooks that you do not have, but need, in order to support your child's classroom and home learning.
What if I change my course?
Some students occasionally change courses. If you think your child may change courses, please get in touch using the Textbook Enquiry Form, and we will do our best to assist you. We will swap books to reflect a course change within the first three weeks of the school year, so long as the returned textbooks are in pristine condition.
What Should I Do If I Order the Wrong Textbook?
If you made a mistake while ordering your textbooks, please reach out to us using the Textbook Enquiry Form, and we will do our best to assist you.
What if I lose a textbook later in the year?
If a student loses a textbook, it is their responsibility to replace it. We do not generally keep a large stock of surplus textbooks, but if we happen to have a copy of the textbook you need then we can sell it to you for an additional charge. If we do not have the book in stock, the Accounts Department may be able to order a copy of a textbook on your behalf, but the price will reflect the book costs and shipping costs at the time of order. Shipping costs especially are likely to be higher.
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.
