As another school year comes to an end and you’re going through your child’s school bags, please think of us and our “Back to School Depository”.
Don’t throw out unused school books & stationery, we will take them 🙋♀️🙋♀️
We run a “Back to School Depository” every January where we help families that are struggling, to fill their children’s book lists. Nothing goes to waste!! If it’s in good condition, unused and in working order, we would love your donations 🙏🙏
Some people have been asking how they can help? Any help is most appreciated. The more help we get the more families we can help. Here are a list of items that the schools are asking for on the book lists. It’s not limited to just these items but these do cover the majority of schools in Brisbane:
👉 Book for all grades - scrapbooks, play books, story books, grade 1, 2 & 3 and A4 exercise book
👉 Black, Blue & Red Pens plus 0.4mm Fine line pens & sharpies
👉 Colouring in pencils, connector colouring textas , twistable colouring pencils, crayons, 12 water colour paint kit & chalk
👉 Paint brushes in various sizes
👉 HB, 2B, 4B & 6B Lead pencils plus the early years HB Triangular pencils
👉 A4 & A3 Art Diaries
👉 10mm Grid Books & Science Books
👉 Music Books
👉 Display Folders, Manila Folders (foolscap & A4), Clear wallet with button closure (foolscap & A4) & Cardboard Wallet folders (foolscap & A4)
👉 Mini Whiteboards, whiteboard markers & whiteboard erasers
👉 Rulers, erasers, scissors, sharpeners, highlighters in different colours, pencil cases and glue sticks (normally the students are asked to bring in 8 glue sticks each! 😲)
👉 Liquid paper & correction tape
👉 Calculators for primary & scientific calculators for high school
👉 Maths sets
👉 Headphones with a microphone inbuilt
👉 USB memory sticks
👉 Art smocks
👉 Chair Bags
👉 Library Bags
👉 Tissues
👉 Reams of copy paper
👉 School Bags
👉 Lunch boxes
👉 Drink bottles
👉 Name labels for books
There’s so much more and we do our very best to buy everything we come across each year on the book lists.
Honestly, what I’ve come to know over the years that we have been running this program, is when you have nothing you are grateful for anything and the families that come in are just grateful for any help they receive so their children can start the new year with the basics they need to learn.
We will be accepting any donations everyday next week to our workshop. We finish up for the year next Friday 19th December 2025 for annual leave and when we return next year on Monday 12th January 2026, we will be accepting donations on this day as well as Tuesday 13th January 2026.
📣 Book Pack Depository will be run on Wednesday 13th January to Friday 15th January 2026. More information regarding registering for this will come out next week.
Thank you for partnering with us!!
