About Us
For over 35 years, Pascal Press has helped Australian students build confidence, strengthen essential skills and achieve their best results. We are a leading Australian educational publisher, creating trusted workbooks, study guides, test preparation resources and home learning materials for students from Kindergarten to Year 12.
Our resources are designed to support learning both at home and in the classroom. Written by experienced educators, teachers and subject specialists, each title provides clear explanations, structured practice and practical activities that make learning easier to understand and apply.
Trusted Educational Resources for Australian Students
Pascal Press is best known for its trusted Excel and Targeting ranges, which are used by students, parents and teachers across Australia. Our resources cover core subjects including English, Mathematics, Science and Humanities, as well as preparation for important assessments and exams such as NAPLAN, Opportunity Class placement, Selective School and Scholarship tests, and the HSC.
Whether a student is consolidating classroom learning, catching up on essential skills, working ahead or preparing for an important exam, our books are designed to provide the guidance and practice they need to progress with confidence.
Supporting Parents, Teachers and Schools
We understand that every student learns differently. That is why our educational resources are developed to be clear, accessible and easy to use, helping parents support learning at home and giving teachers practical tools for classroom instruction, revision and extension.
Our step-by-step approach helps students work independently, track their progress and develop stronger study habits. Detailed answers and explanations also help turn mistakes into valuable learning opportunities.

For more than three decades, families and educators have trusted Pascal Press to provide high-quality educational resources that help students learn, practise, revise and succeed.
A Message from Our Founder
“In the 35 years we have been around, we have achieved great success. We have taken risks and have sometimes failed, but that did not stop us from trying again. Failure often has more lessons to teach than success.
I believe our success stems from our delivery on our ‘better ways to learn’ mission, in continuing to strive to build a sound education for the current, and future generations. We hear every day from our customers about how our programs and books are making a real difference to their children’s education.
My team and I thank you for your support and hope you or your child enjoy our resources as much as we do.”
