Scholastic Bookclub

What is it?

Scholastic Book Club is exclusively school-based and offer teachers and parents an easy way to purchase the best children's books at low prices.  There is a Book Club for every grade, from preschool through to junior high. In each issue in the Scholastic Book Club student catalogue, your child will find a terrific selection of new and noteworthy fiction, classics, award-winning titles, perennial favourites, reference and sports books and more.

How does it work?

1. Twice each term, teachers distribute the Book Club catalogues to their students.

2. Students take the flyers home to select books, software or other items with their parents.

3. Students use LOOP or return order forms and payments to the school.

4. The order is placed with Scholastic Australia.

5. Within three weeks, the box of books arrives in your child's classroom.

When your child gets to choose their very own books, reading becomes a joy and an adventure. That excitement can carry over into a lifelong love of reading. Also, the earlier students become independent readers, the more likely they are to succeed in school.

Issue 1 Bookclub

Issue 1 of Bookclub was handed out last week for Years 1-6.  Please make sure you have completed your orders by Wednesday 21st February.  Kindergarten students will begin receiving their Bookclub catalogues with Issue 2.  

Thank you to all the parents who used LOOP last year.  If you are not sure what LOOP is there is an information sheet attached below.  It is a much easier and simpler way for you to order books.
