As we return back to work and the kids get ready to head back to school, the stress of getting everything organised in time starts to ramp up.   

Of course, you could have started the back-to-school shop weeks ago when you had more time, but the stress of finding everything you needed from a range of different stores set your heart racing, so you placed this firmly on the back burner.   

Until now. Because thankfully, Kmart has made the back-to-school shop a breeze with their stress-free guide (read: one-stop-shop) to checking off the school shopping list.   

Back to school without the stress

If your kids have spent the summer having yet another growth spurt, then it’s time to stock up on great value, comfortable new uniforms. Kmart’s shelves are stocked with all the uniform essentials from everyday school polos and dresses to school sports shorts and even skirts and skorts.   

The only thing that seems to grow faster than their height is their feet. So, once you’ve got their uniform set for the next year — or at least the next few months — you can rest assured that Kmart has your kids covered with an extensive range of school shoes. With lace-up options for the older kids, Velcro tabs for little fingers and even cute T-bar style buckle-up shoes, there’s something for every style. Not to mention, you can also stock up on sports shoes while you’re there for all the muddy adventures they go on. 

And once the schoolwear essentials have been ticked off, you’ll want to stock up on the accessories. No hat, no play has been chanted around school yards for decades, so be sure to remind your kids about sun safety while you pick up their new school hats. We all know that school hats are notorious for going ‘missing’. So, it’s better to be safe and pick up a couple of spares while you’re there.   

Backpack check list

No back-to-school list is complete without a trusty backpack to carry new books and a pencil case that they can’t wait to show off to their friends. And you’ll be able to tick off the whole school stationery list at Kmart.   

Once the kids finally go back to school, really, they’re looking forward to two things: playing with their friends and opening their lunch boxes to see what delicious snacks you’ve packed for them.  

And there we have the whole back-to-school checklist ticked off. And all it took was one quick trip to Kmart to have the kids set up with incredible, on-trend, great value school essentials.
