DATE EXTENDED: 2024 Canterbury College: Years 2-12 Book & Stationery Lists: Campion Education | ORDER BEFORE 11:59PM FRIDAY 17 NOVEMBER 2023

Dear Parents and Carers,

Our College’s 2024 required Book & Stationery Lists are NOW available for viewing and ordering online through Campion Education.

Canterbury College’s Unique Campion Education Online Order Access Key: RG2G

Campion Education provides an efficient online ordering system, as well as a convenient shopfront service in Salisbury.

We have found Campion to be a flexible and very economical option for our Canterbury families to date.

However, parents and carers are MOST welcome to download their list/s, then shop for these same materials at their own preferred supplier/s.

Students in the ELC, Prep and Year 1 have their stationery supplies provided in the classroom, as most resources are shared in these Early Learning years.

The cost for these supplies has been included in your Single Resource Charge (SRC) for 2024.

Now each level from Years 2-12 has an itemised list duplicated on both the Campion Education website and Canterbury College website.

There you will find a list of textbooks and/or general stationery required for all subjects in that year level, plus some subject specific requirements.

In some cases, items from previous years can be retained if they are still in good condition, which will further reduce costs.

Parents and carers can order online 24/7 and have items delivered to their home for a $11.95 delivery fee.

OR they can pick their orders up from Campion Education’s retail store located at – Unit 5, 121 Evans Road, Salisbury, Brisbane.

To order, please visit THIS WEBLINK, then create your account (if required), log in, then order your supplies by entering the unique Canterbury Code RG2G to access our Book & Stationery Lists.

To ensure delivery by the start of the 2024 School Year, ORDERS MUST BE PLACED BY 11:59PM FRIDAY 17 NOVEMBER 2023!

Orders can still be placed after this due date by visiting the Campion Education website or their Retail Service Centre.

However, full stock availability cannot always be guaranteed for orders placed after the due date.

Please Note: 2024 Years 8 – 11 subjects will not be confirmed until the end of Term 4, when the timetable is finalised.

If you have any questions, please contact the:

Secondary School Admin Office – 07 3299 0843 | 

Junior School Admin Office – 07 3299 0847 | 

Yours faithfully,

Mr Mitchell Staples | Assistant Head of Secondary School (Learning)

I need to please remind you though, that this is still a school event - so school rules and expectations remain.

I look forward to seeing you all there for some fun!
