Master Order Information 2024-25

1.     Timeline & Vendor list

2.     Master order template

The Master order is planned to be delivered in July 2024.

Resource Catalog: We highly recommend teachers to use the Australian resources for the best delivery result. They are branded with a high quality and wide range of teaching material with the advantage of the Australian dollar. With the disruptive logistics in the world, ordering from the USA could take longer travel time to arrive at the school, and it might cause some unexpected logistic issues. You will find a lot of websites for Australia resources in the Vendor list.

Some remarks for the template:

Category column: please choose the appropriate item i.e Overseas, Local order, Subscription, and ICT, as all items will be sorted and allocated to the person in charge.

  • Local orders will be bought locally; the Business Office will process it in May every year.

  • Subscription demands should be sent to the Teaching and Learning Office to process.

  •  ITC demands shall direct to the ICT Office to process.

Submission deadline (by Division):  18 Dec 2023
