How to make the best use of the services
offered by your bookshop
Familiarise yourself with the many services offered by your
bookshop. Here is a convenient list for your information.
We sell:
Text and references, novels, and general interest books.
Secondhand books.
Full range of stationery supplies.
Full range of office supplies.
Gifts, cards, wrapping paper and novelties.
Audio and video cassettes.
Film and film processing.

You are also able to sell your used and unwanted books
through the bookshop.
We suggest that if you are intending to purchase a required
text or reference, that you do so at the beginning of each
semester. If you cannot afford to purchase it immediately,
have it put aside. This will help to alert us to any possible
shortages early in the semester. Top up orden can then be
placed where necessary to ensure the book arrives in a time
to be of use for that semester.
If you find the book is unavailable ask the staff when it will
arrive and place a personal order at the information counter
to secure a copy when supplies become available.

Chaplains are responsible for spiritual and religious affairs on
all campuses. They are recognised and authorised by their
respective Christian churches. They are available to all
students and staff regardless of their religious affiliation or
lack of it.
Chaplains are able to arrange weddings, funerals,
christenings and other rites and ceremonies as requested;
especially for those who find the traditional church setting
difficult. Phone the campus number for details.
As pastors, they are able to support those in any need, or
who wish to work through the basic issues of life, or who
wish to clarify whatever is happening to them. They are
willing to celebrate life's achievements, and to hear what
God may be saying to any student or staff member.
New students are particularly invited to make themselves
known to the chaplains. They are in touch with all churches
in their areas and are happy to supply information about the
churches to you upon request. They also have information
relating to other religious groups available.
For specific religious affiliations visiting chaplains are
available - Jews, Catholics, Orthodox, Lutheran etc.
International students may wish to contact chaplains of their
own language group - Korean, Japanese, Chinese,
Indonesian, Vietnamese etc. Please enquire 81 9 8489.
Child-care Centre
Coordinator
S. Somerville, 819 8519
A cooperative was formed in 1975 to provide child-care
facilities at Swinburne for parents in need of this service.
The primary objective of the Centre is to meet the needs of
the children by providing a secure and happy atmosphere
combined with experiences which will foster their development.
The aims of the Centre revolve around encouraging a
beneficial contact that will produce an understanding of the
needs of the individual child and their family.
The Centre's two houses can cater for up to thirty-five
children at one time with six caring staff. The children are
not separated into age groups but form one large, if rather
noisy, family. A combination of structured and free choice
experiences have created a warm, relaxed program. The
children are encouraged to go at their own pace, to develop
their own style, to find their own solutions and enjoy their
own creativity.
The Centre caters for children up to five years of age, not
only from Swinburne parents, but other members of the
community. A sliding scale of fees has been adopted.
Early application for use of this service is advised as there is
a waiting list in existence.
Evening childcare
Evening care until 10.00pm is available for children between
the ages of 0-14 years at reasonable rates on a casual basis.
Please contact the Childcare Service on 819 8519 or the
Equity Unit on 819 8804 for further information.
