What are teachers saying about the VCE Live It Up series?

“Live It Up is the superior textbook. It’s layout is engaging and detail is perfect for the classroom.”
GLEN ROBERTSON
Teacher, Emmanuel College – St Paul’s -
“I have been teaching for two years and in each year have opted to use the Jacaranda texts. Being a new teacher I found that the textbook explained concepts from the VCAA study design for HHD in a way that was informative yet succinct. The text is easy to follow for students and is a fantastic resource to assist the students in achieving their full potential in the subject and give them the best opportunity to do well in the subject.”
