Start with your school's own list
Every school sets its own requirements, so the official list from your child's school always comes first. Use this checklist to make sure nothing is forgotten, and to plan your budget before the new session starts.
Tip: take a photo of the list and send it to us on WhatsApp. We'll reply with a complete quote and pack everything in one order.
Everyday essentials (all classes)
- School uniform: at least two sets so one can be washed
- School shoes, plus joggers for PE days
- A school bag with padded straps
- A leak-proof water bottle and a lunch box
- A school diary for homework and teacher notes
- Name labels for books, bottle and lunch box
Early years (Playgroup to Prep)
- Thick pencils and a sharpener
- Crayons or colour pencils
- Erasers (keep spares)
- Four-line and drawing copies
- Noorani Qaida
- A small, light bag
Primary (Class 1 to 5)
- HB pencils, sharpener and erasers
- A ruler and a basic geometry set from Class 3–4
- Colour pencils for art
- Single-line and double-line copies as the school asks
- Glue stick, scissors with rounded tips
- Textbooks for the class, with covers
Middle & secondary (Class 6 and up)
- Ball pens (blue and black) and highlighters
- A complete geometry box
- Registers and files for each subject
- A scientific calculator if the school allows one
- A sturdy, larger backpack for heavier books
Save money and time
- Buy everything in one order: one delivery fee, or free delivery above the threshold
- Check last year's items first: bags and geometry boxes often last
- Buy uniform one size up for growing children, but not more
- Order 2–3 weeks before the session to avoid the last-minute rush
