Second-Hand Book Sale 

The second-hand book sale takes place in November/December each year, COVID-19 permitting. Boys are able to:
  • drop off used textbooks, which the SGSWA will try and sell on their behalf
  • buy pre-loved textbooks, at approx. 55% of the new book price. 

75% of the proceeds generated by the book sale are returned to the book sellers, with the remainder reinvested in the school community by the SGSWA.

We're already looking forward to the 2021 book sale and will share information about it later in 2021.

Second-Hand Book Sale 2020

Despite the logistical challenges precipitated by COVID-19, the 2020 second-hand book sale was a resounding success, repurposing hundreds/thousands of pre-loved textbooks and returning around $26k to SGS families. Thank you for supporting the book sale and especially the many parents who volunteered, so ably assisting both boys and staff with their second-hand book enquiries. And of course thank you to MaryAnn Apte, whose second-hand book sale expertise and desire to meet every 'customer's' needs was the driving force behind this wonderful team effort.
