Dear Parents / Guardians,

As the College has a comprehensive resource list for all year levels, once again this year we are offering a process for assisting families to sell textbooks and therefore offset the cost of books for the following year. We have staggered the receiving and selling of textbooks in order to keep our students using their textbooks for as long as possible. Please refer to the schedule as tabled below.

The purchase of second-hand books needs to be completed by Monday16th December, as online resource list orders must be completed by this date.  Stationery packs can only be ordered on resource lists. They are not available at the second-hand book sales.

At this stage, we cannot be sure of how many families will utilise this opportunity but I would encourage everyone to tidy up books and have them ready to deposit for sale.

SECOND-HAND BOOK SALES AT THE COLLEGE

SECOND-HAND BOOK STORE will be located in Room B3

PROCESS FOR HANDLING BOOKS DEPOSITED BY STUDENTS TO BE SOLD ON THEIR BEHALF

• A price (not negotiable) is set for each textbook title.  The price list is attached.
• Only textbooks in good condition will be received and staff will make all decisions in relation to accepting books for sale.
• Books will not be accepted for sale at any price other than the published price.  It is the responsibility of the buyer to ensure that the textbook is not faulty in any way. 
• Families/students need to fill out a separate white Book Deposit Slip, (available prior to the day) for every book they wish to deposit for sale and a white Book(s) Deposited for Sale form, (available prior to the day) to list the total number of book(s) they have deposited for sale. These forms must be signed by the College staff receiving the book/s for sale.

• A $2.00 fee will be charged for each book sold. This will be deducted from the money owed to you, as a result of the books having been sold on your behalf.  Money will not be returned until after all sale days are over. You will need to collect money and unsold textbooks from Thursday 12th to Wednesday 18th December from 9.00 am to 5.00 pm.  

• Unsold books not collected by the 18th December will be forfeited and used to assist needy students in the following year.

PROCESS FOR BUYING SECOND-HAND TEXTBOOKS

• Students must pay cash for all books purchased. The price is fixed. Eftpos - not available. Cheques - not accepted.
• Students must complete a pink Book(s) Purchased form when buying textbooks. Forms will be available before the day to try and avoid delays.
• Families will be able to collect money and unsold textbooks from Room B3 from Thursday 12th to Wednesday 18th December from 9.00 am to 5.00 pm.  

PLEASE BE REMINDED THAT THE COLLEGE IS PROVIDING THIS SERVICE TO THE SCHOOL COMMUNITY. THE COLLEGE WILL NOT  PURCHASE TEXTBOOKS FOR RESALE.
