Orientation

Booklist Provider

As already mentioned in a previous Ignatian edition and subject confirmation letters, the College will continue to use Box of Books as our booklist provider.

Parents are able to recycle physical books from siblings or purchase second hand physical books (as long as the book has not changed). As part of the College’s eBook levy, Year 7-9 students will automatically receive digital resources for Maths, Science, Humanities and RE and hard copies for English.

Our annual Awards Evening will be held on Friday 5 December 7pm in the Loyola Companions Hall.
