Frequently Asked Questions

Can sciPAD workbooks be purchased by our students through school-recommended suppliers?

Yes, sciPAD will be available through major textbook/workbook suppliers.
To ensure everything runs smoothly, please let both the supplier and our team know that your class will be using the sciPAD workbooks asap. This will ensure the books are ready to go and give us time to activate your sciPAD Online access before your students are sitting in front of you.

When do we need to order by if ordering directly from sciPAD?

To keep sciPAD pricing low for Australian schools, we only print what has been pre-ordered. That’s why we need your order in by 15 December each year. This allows us to print exactly what’s needed and ensure delivery in time for the start of Term 1.

You can still order after this date, though there may be a delay in your delivery.

What if I don’t know my exact student numbers yet?

That’s completely fine. Just provide your best estimate. If you end up needing more books, we’re happy to send extras. Ordered too many? No problem – we’ll happily take them back. We aim to make the process flexible and stress-free for schools.

When will we be invoiced?

If ordered from sciPAD directly, invoices will be issued when your sciPADs are delivered, typically at the beginning of the school year (late January to early February). 

Can I view an inspection copy first?

Absolutely. Full digital previews of all sciPADs are available online. Contact us and we’ll organise access to an inspection copy so you can review the content before ordering. We will have physical workbooks available shortly.

Do teachers get access to the workbook answers?

Yes, teachers have full access to both the printable and interactive answers through sciPAD Online. Simply log in and click on the Book tab to view or download the answers for any sciPADs your school has ordered. While editing each class, you can also choose to share an interactive version of the answers with your students, viewable on their devices. Click here for full instructions.

How do we access scipad online?

Upon purchasing a sciPAD workbook, your school will be provided with a number of assigned online seats for the specific titles you have purchased. There is NO additional charge and teacher access is free alongside school use.

These assigned seats will grant seamless access to the corresponding content on the sciPAD Online platform. Please contact our online team.
