Give Students the Words They Need to Succeed

The Oxford Australian School Dictionary and Thesaurus 5th Edition is a two-in-one reference that builds vocabulary, strengthens writing, and supports confident communication for students aged 10 to 16.

Developed with guidance from the Australian National Dictionary Centre, this fully revised edition reflects current Australian English and is tailored for secondary school students. With over 20,000 dictionary headwords and 10,000 thesaurus headwords, it covers the breadth of language students encounter in the classroom and on assessments.

The layout is clear and age-appropriate, making independent use easy whether students are working on an essay, preparing for exams, or reading widely.
