Unused Stationery Needed to Help Set Up a Classroom for 9-10 Year Olds

Simon from Meadowbank

Hi everyone,

We’re feeling super proud as our daughter, Zoë, has just landed her first job as a primary school teacher! She starts next week, teaching a lively group of 9-10-year-old boys and girls.

Zoë’s classroom budget for the year is only $100, which needs to cover essentials like stationery (coloured and plain A4 & A3 paper, felt tips, whiteboard markers, HB and coloured pencils, cellotape, Blu Tack, etc.) and even reading books. As you can imagine, this doesn’t stretch far for a class of 25+ children.

If you have any unused stationery new or old, lying around at home or books suitable for 9-10-year-olds that your kids have outgrown, Zoë would be incredibly grateful to put them to good use!

She’d be happy to come by and pick them up from you, or you’re welcome to drop them off at our place at 19 Manapau St, Meadowbank (just by the train station).

Thank you so much for supporting a new teacher and helping inspire the next generation to learn, create, and thrive! 🎨✨

Warm regards,
Simon Cope
