LearningField: a new way to access eBook resources
To complement our 1:1 Device Program we are excited to introduce a new way of accessing and using textbook resources. In 2018, students and teachers in Years 7-10 will be using the digital textbook subscription service LearningField for subjects including English, Maths, History, Geography, Science and Languages.
Instead of purchasing individual textbooks for all subjects, parents will purchase a subscription to LearningField. This will provide your child with 12 months unlimited access to the latest subject textbooks from all the major Australian educational publishers, at four year levels (7-10) allowing for increased opportunity for personalised learning.
See the applicable flyer below for details on how to purchase the subscription.
