Special At Specialist:
I don't know. I am doing it via distance ed so I don't even have a booklist for it.
If there is one, then hopefully it gets sent pretty soon.
If there isn't, then what do you use all year?
I thought all humanities subjects would have a textbook...

It's been on the DECV website for quite a while now: http://www.distance.vic.edu.au/enrol/enrforms.htm
As an aside, you should click through and read through everything on that website as soon as possible, might come across interesting stuff you should be aware of.

http://www.distance.vic.edu.au/enrol/pdf/2012_DECV_booklist_year_12.

The books they list for philosophy are:
Need for Roots  [Weil S]
Nicomachean Ethics  [ARISTOTLE (Trans. ROSS, D.)]
Gorgias (Oxford World Classic)  [PLATO (Trans. WATERFIELD, R.)]

They also put below it this note:  Please note that  other editions are NOT acceptable

Depends on what you mean by textbook. We have nine set texts, which are kind of like textbooks I guess... but I guess they aren't really. We also had a textbook-ish book which was a general context on every philosopher ever, including most of those we study, but since we never really used I'd still say nope we didn't really have a textbook.

Menang:
We didn't have a textbook, but we did make a personalised class readings book which was really fun. I've grown quite attached to mine (it's highly annotated and it has our class photos, the study design etc).

Lots of philosophy teachers would probably use different things so best to ask the philosophy faculty at your school, I think.

tullfrog:
Things you should do:
Read all the set texts.
Make summaries of all the set texts.
Read broadly about the issues discussed and come up with your own viewpoint.
