CBC Shortlist


The Children's Book Council of Australia announced their 2011 Notable and Short List books on Tuesday 12 April 2011.

How to place a school order

To place an order please download our 'CBC Order Form' (Download ICON MS Word document) and return it to Riverbend.

You can return your order form in person, by fax - 07 3395 7777 or by email to our schools order manager Jennifer Boyle: schools@riverbendbooks.com.au.

Orders will be filled as quickly as possible from stock on hand on a first-come first-filled basis. Books not in stock at Riverbend will be ordered and sent as soon as possible. All schools orders are invoiced at 10% discount.

And if you place an order for 10 or more of the CBC listed titles at Riverbend, on top of your 10% school discount, we'll thank you with a $20 Riverbend gift voucher.

You can use your voucher to pick up a holiday book for yourself, one for your school or perhaps treat yourself with a meal from the Riverbend Teahouse's fabulous new Autumn menu.
