Buy and Sell Second Hand Items

John XXIII College is conscious of the need to provide an improved facility for families to be able to buy and sell their secondhand uniforms, textbooks and other student resources.

We are delighted to inform you that the John XXIII College Parents’ Association has generously funded an initiative providing our families with access to the Sustainable School Shop. Results from other schools have been excellent; families have enjoyed a more comprehensive and convenient method of buying and selling these items.

For the best results:

• Register on the Sustainable School Shop website at 
  http://www.sustainableschoolshop.com.au and nominate John XXIII College
• An annual subscription to the service will be provided to you courtesy of the John XXIII College Parents’ Association
• List your items for sale
• List wanted ads for those items you are looking to buy
• The College’s uniform and book lists are loaded into the system to make listing ads easy
• The system matches the ads of buyers with sellers and notifies the buyer via email
• Buyers contact sellers and arrange where and when to trade
• Most trading will occur with other parents from our school
• Parents are well supported via Sustainable School Shop’s telephone (0438 743 444) and email help lines
• The system is simple and easy to use - If you don’t have a computer, internet access or an email address, please call the Sustainable School Shop for assistance
• You can pre-arrange the transaction and then trade after the texts are not required.

All enquiries should be directed to the Sustainable School Shop on: 1300 683 337 or help is also available through ‘Contact Us’ on their website at http://www.sustainableschoolshop.com.au
