✨ORGANISATION HACKS✨
Using this weekend to get the school bags sorted for the end of August? Here are a few tips to help you get organised!
First years in particular take awhile to get their heads around a new building, new teachers, classmates and subjects along with the whole idea of moving class every 40-60 minutes! This can make the first few weeks of what should be an exciting milestone really overwhelming.
Once you have all your books and stationery, organise everything you need by subject into A4 zip wallets. For example, for maths, your textbook, copybook, Formula and Tables book and anything else your maths teacher has asked you to have should all go into one folder. This way if you’re grabbing books from your locker in a rush you’re not going to forget a copy or a notebook that’s been wedged between 2 bit textbooks!
A large pencil case is also useful for items you need in more than one subject. It can hold your large ruler for maths and science, your colouring pencils for geography and CSPE and your calculator for maths and business studies.
Pro tip: print off your timetable and stick it on the inside of your locker. It’s much easier to grab what books you need when you’re looking at your timetable rather than trying to keep your homework journal open and rifle through your locker at the same time!
