Welcome to the Club where reading
is rewarding for everyone!
Why choose
Book Clubs?
The children of our primary schools represent the single greatest opportunity for us
to change and shape the future of Australian communities. There are few roles more
important in our society than teaching and raising children.

children a convenient way
to purchase affordable, ageappropriate books to bridge the
class-to-home reading connection
and keep the reading momentum
rolling in your school.
New Linked Ordering and Online Payment (LOOP)
LOOP enables parents to order and pay for their child’s Book Club order, thus removing
the paperwork, keying and payment handling. Teachers still give out the brochures and
distribute the purchased books to the students, so the fun of Book Club is maintained.
Schools still receive the same Scholastic Rewards for all orders. The LOOP app for mobile
devices makes ordering even more convenient!
