Books and Learning Materials

Books and learning resources

Ordering books

To make purchasing the right book package easy, we cooperate with bookstore Iddink. This bookstore knows exactly which books we use for the different courses and learning years. So you don’t have to delve into the required book list.

All the information you need to order the books is on www.iddink.nl. The book package you order will be delivered to your home.

Other learning resources

Learning resources that are used in the classroom, such as atlases and teaching aids that teachers have made themselves, are provided and paid for by the school.

Costs

The costs for books and learning materials are borne by the school, insofar as they belong to the (chosen) subject package. An exception are the books and learning materials that are not reimbursed by the government, such as reading books. You must pay for these materials yourself. Learning materials for home use, such as atlases and dictionaries, are also at your expense.

Deposit

A deposit is charged for borrowing the book package. This deposit will be €75 in the 2022-2023 school year. You will get this deposit back when your child leaves school and the books are not damaged.

In case of damage or loss, the damage amount will be deducted from the prepaid deposit. You must then restore the deposit amount before the start of the new school year.

Interim change of book package

If your child changes courses during the school year or changes one or more subjects in his or her subject package, you must follow the existing procedure to avoid additional charges for new books. Your child’s team coach can tell you how this procedure works.

Use of books

All textbooks must be covered. Please put a label on the front with the student’s name, class and the appropriate subject. No writing is allowed in the books.

Multimedia Library

There is at least one copy of all textbooks in the library. If a student has forgotten to bring a book, he or she can borrow it from the library for the relevant class period.
