3 tips to beat the Back to School scramble

The end of the school holidays always seem to sneak up. Suddenly, it’s time to swap beach days for lesson plans, and sandcastles for stationery shopping. Whether you’re a teacher prepping your classroom or an admin hero getting the school prepped for a new year, we get it – getting organised for ‘Back to School’ is no small feat.

Take a deep breath! We’ve got your back with three simple tips to help you start the school year feeling cool, calm and collected.

1. Make your shopping list

Before you dive headfirst into a sea of school supplies, take a moment to plan out what you actually need. Do a stocktake of what you already have and make a list of the essentials. A little planning goes a long way to make sure you’re ready for the kids and not running out of glue sticks on day one.
