In 2026, we will transition to a new scientific calculator for students in years 7-11.

The new calculator (which will replace the green TI model) is called Casio FX8200AU.

Abacus calculators have offered an introductory price of $44, with online ordering and delivery to the college at the start of 2026.

The order details can be found in the newsletter and on booklists as they become available.

This calculator will be used for students in year 7, 8, 9 and 10 maths, plus senior students studying Essential Mathematics and General Mathematics.

Please note, however, that students will still be able to use the green model for the next couple of years whilst we transition, but if you need to purchase a new one, this is the way to go.

If you have any questions, please contact Simone Forbes (simone.forbes@twb.catholic.edu.au) at the college.
