• The school bookshops will be stocked from the Student-Parent Orientation Day.
• The school will provide NCTB Textbooks that are available from the government free of charge, of course, whenever they are
made available to the school.
• All students are requested to purchase the original version of all the textbooks.
• The student’s name, ID number, class and section should be clearly written on all the exercise books and textbooks. Parents are
advised not to allow students to bring very expensive or fancy stationery items to school.
• Students are advised to bring all the books, exercise copies, and supplies each day according to their daily class routine and
teacher’s instruction to avoid carrying any extra weight in school bags.

BOOKS AND STATIONERY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

EXERCISE BOOKS:
• Exercise books will be supplied by Scholastica for the students. Therefore parents do not need to purchase the item at any
time.
• All students will be given a preliminary set of exercise books at the beginning of the school year.
• During the year, students will be able to get additional exercise copies as and when they require them by asking their Class
Teachers to provide it from the bookshop.
• Students will be provided with as many copies as they require for all coursework and any work assigned by the school.
• Although exercise copies are free and will be provided to students as required by the school, the bookshop will also carry
these items should any parent wish to purchase additional copies for personal use.

PAPER:

All paper requirements will be provided by the school through teachers as and when they are required. Therefore parents do not need
to purchase the item at any time.

TEXT BOOKS:

Repeat books: Please note that in some classes, students are expected to use the same textbook as the previous year (for example,
Making History is used in both class VII & VIII). For the books that have been assigned since the previous year, we expect students to
already have a copy of that book so it will not be provided in the bundle for the higher class. Students are encouraged to keep such
books in good condition for use in the future.
