With over 130 years of experience in helping parents across the country get their school supplies, we've prepared the ultimate back to school checklist so you don't miss anything important! 

Stationery

For the primary school years, it’s likely that your child is supplied with all the stationery and books they need. However, once they make the leap to secondary school, they might be expected to bring in their own supplies for each lesson. 

Here's our recommendation of stationery essentials!

• Pens
• Pencils
• Pencil Sharpener
• Pencil Case
• Rubber
• Highlighter
• Colouring Pencils
• Coloured Pens
• Markers
• Glue Stick
• Scissors 
• Ruler

For secondary school, your kids may need to be prepared to use the following: 

• Protractor
• Compass
• Calculator

The Core Essentials

Whilst stationery is important and we highly recommend each child having at least one of each, the most important part of your back to school kit are the following: 

• Backpack
• Lunch Box
• Water Bottle
• Laundry Marker - your child's name should be in their uniform clothing, on their books and in their P.E. bag.
