"We love Jacaranda as we feel it closely follows the key knowledge areas of the VCE Study Design. It makes it easy for students and teachers to navigate the course and answer chapter questions. "
"Great resources, a very user friendly online platform in learnON and customer service is always outstanding. Highly recommend! "
"I have used Jacaranda for over 20 years at VCE level and wouldn't use anything else. I like the extra support and resources that Jacaranda provide."

"We have used Jacaranda for a number of years and find the language and activities are suited to our students. It can cater for the lower academic students, but can also be used for the top end students. The fact that they can have both the print and online resource is always handy. The online resource is good for student revision. It suits our needs quite well."
"The concepts are clearly summarised and visual. The digital resources are constantly updated to further summarise key concepts and collate past VCAA exam questions for further revision. I love the exam tips throughout and the key skill breakdowns."

“Your resources are terrific and having a new study design I feel confident that your writers and the material meet the VCAA requirements- this so important when teaching in VCE as knowing what has to be taught and the key knowledge/skills being broken down for us is valuable in terms of time and support. Many thanks!"

“I find the Jacaranda textbooks very appealing to the eye. Not only does it have a lot of information, but also plenty of graphs, figures, tables and relevant images. I also find the Jacaranda textbooks cater for all learning styles of my students. Activities are included for hands on students, graphs, images and colour for the visual learners and the auditory learners can listen to students read, or watch and listen to the included videos.”
“We feel that Jacaranda has the most up to date and relevant information for our students. The case studies and exam prep questions are fantastic in engaging the students whilst also providing them with similar questions that they would face in a SAC or end of year examination. We are very happy with the resource and will continue using Jacaranda for the foreseeable future.”
