WANBO has established a textbook marketplace for older students to sell their secondhand textbooks to Y11s and Y12s at a cheaper rate than the official book vendors. We hope that this will be a useful service for you as we support the school’s sustainability initiatives. You can find out more about the initiative here.

The list of books has also been shared with Hong Kong Book Centre and should be available there. However, parents and students are welcome to purchase from other suppliers.
