summer holidays are almost over and a new school
year is upon us, parents minds once again turn to preparing
their children for the new school year. That of
course includes purchasing new school supplies.
This comprehensive article includes all the
supplies your child will need.
Basic school supplies:
K-Mart have
made things super easy by stocking a huge range
of school items for all stages of school.
To start
with, for just $8.00 you can purchase the 5 in 1
backpack containing lunch cooler, pencil case,
mesh bag and ruler.
Additional
supplies that can be purchased from K-Mart to
fill the school bag may include;
-
Lunch
box, cooler bag and water bottle.

eraser & sharpener)

Glue
sticks

Refillable display book

Two pack

18 Faber-Castell

purchased for $25.00, saving you both time &
money.
All of this,
including the 5 in 1 backpack can be purchased
for just $25.00 from K-Mart. For more

Check with
your school on uniform requirements. Most have
websites or pamphlets outlining what school
children require. This will include;
-
Summer
uniform
-
Winter
uniform
-
Sports
uniform
-
Shoes
(school shoes & sports shoes)
-
Socks
-
Vests
(for winter)
-
Hat
(preferably a rimmed "bucket hat"), will be
required for outdoor play. Most schools have
a rule of "no hat, no play"
-
Raincoat
(a lot of schools don't permit umbrellas)
-
Hair
ties. It is always a good idea to tie back
long hair as it reduces the chances of them
catching
head lice.
Our local
school also requests that children be provided
an old t-shirt, apron or art smock to wear
during art classes.
Labels and name tags:
Make sure all
goods are labelled with your child's name.
Believe me, they lose stuff quickly. There are
stickly labels for most items and iron labels
for clothing.
