It’s that time of year again, when (for at least one day) kids big and small get excited about fresh stationary, new additions to the canteen menu and the start of a new school year. Whether you’re kissing your little one goodbye at the primary school gate, or waving to your ninth-grader as you drop them off two blocks from the grounds, or getting ready to send your newly grown-up high-school grad off to university, we know it can be a time of equal parts stress and sweet, sweet relief (now you only have to plan activities for the weekend!). So, to make things a bit simpler (because we love to help out where we can – although not on the P&C board – we’ll leave that to you!), we’ve sorted your back-to-school essentials…
