The packs
The whole list, already sorted.
Every school hands out a different list, and every January somebody loses a Saturday to five shops. Add a pack, send us your list, and we price it against that.
Fewer craft consumables and more writing books, which is why this one lands cheaper than the grade below it.
The heaviest of the three. More exercise books, more covering, and the dictionary most Grade 3 lists start asking for.

Send us your list
Add a photo of the list.
Snap your school's stationery list and add it here. We'll quote against it exactly — no generic pack, no guessing.
A browser can't attach files to a WhatsApp link on its own — when you tap "Send order on WhatsApp" we'll remind you to attach these same photos there. Takes two taps.
How it works
Four steps, one collection.
Add to cart
Pick the pack you need. Add more than one if you are ordering for a few children.
We price it
Send your school's list on WhatsApp at checkout. We quote against that list, not a generic pack.
We pack it
Your box is made up in our warehouse and checked off item by item.
Collect it
Fetch it in Akasia, or ask about delivery when you place the order.
This is our floor, not a stock photo.
Every box is made up here by our own team. That is why we can quote against your school's exact list instead of selling you a one-size pack with three items you will never use.
Why order from us
Packed by hand, checked twice.
The reasons parents send us their school list instead of doing the shopping themselves.
Matched to your list
Not a generic pack. We price and pack against the list your school handed you, so nothing is missing in week one.
Packed in-house
Made up by our own team in our own warehouse in Akasia, not dropshipped from somewhere we have never seen.
Quote before you pay
You approve the price against your actual list first. Nothing gets paid into unfamiliar banking details.
Orders open October
Get on the list
Back-to-school lists open in October.

Questions
Before you order.
My school's list is different to yours. Can you still do it?
That is the normal case and it is how we prefer to work. Send us a photo of your school's list on WhatsApp and we will price that list exactly. The prices here are what a typical pack for that grade comes to, so your school's version may land above or below.
Do you supply stationery for older grades?
Packs are currently built for the Foundation Phase, where the lists are longest and most standardised. For higher grades, send us the list and we will quote it as a custom order.
How does payment work?
Stationery is paid once the quote against your list is confirmed. We send the banking details and a payment reference with your quote. Please do not pay into details you find on a poster or a forwarded message.
Do you also do tutoring?
Yes, that is where we started. Afterschool and Saturday classes from Grade R to matric. See our tutoring.
