Secondary School Textbooks, Class Novels and Resources

All students in the Secondary School have access to a wide range of digital and physical resources to aid their learning through the Textbook and Learning Resource Hire Program.

This program is funded through a combination of the Queensland Government Textbook and Resource Allowance (TRA) and school funding. Together, these funds support the provision of both physical and digital resources, including textbooks, class novels, and online learning platforms.

Participation in the Textbook and Learning Resource Hire Program is reviewed annually. Families are provided with information each year and may choose to opt in or opt out of the program. Families who opt out are responsible for sourcing all required physical and digital learning resources independently. Resource lists for each year can be found below.

For full details, including conditions of use and responsibilities, please refer to the Textbook and Resource Hire Policy in Parent Lounge.

Resources, including textbooks, class novels and digital resources, are collected and loaned through the Secondary Library.
