Secondary School Textbooks

High school students will live and breathe their secondary school textbooks throughout their studies. These books are essential learning tools in the classroom, and as homework guides after school every week.

In many cases, your child’s teacher will assign the specific high school textbooks they need to complete specific topics or courses. However, you might also like to browse our range of textbooks to help your child progress in an area they’re struggling in, or even to help them get ahead of their classmates.

Popular secondary school textbooks
Each subject area offers a number of leading textbooks to help kids through high school.

For example, General Mathematics VCE Units 1 & 2 is a bestseller thanks to its clear and logical lessons. It covers the basic principles of the curriculum, as well as revision opportunities, practice questions, exercises, answers, and access to digital resources that support the physical book.

Another popular choice is the Oxford Vic Science 7 Student Book, which delves into Year 7 science topics with accessible language, clear layouts, and engaging visuals to make learning as easy and engaging as possible.

For English students, the required reading is usually a novel rather than an educational textbook. Titles such as Brave New World and The Diary of a Young Girl are common reads that teachers use to educate students on themes, narrative concepts, character development, and other key points.
