<h2><span data-contrast="auto">Perhaps one of the best things about going back to school is that shiny new stationery feeling. </span></h2>
<p><span data-contrast="auto">Crisp new book spines, inky pens, sharpened pencils and the smell of printed pages. And as the year begins to wrap up, and we start thinking about the 2024 academic year, some kaiako will have begun writing stationery lists. </span><span data-ccp-props="{";201341983";:0,";335559739";:160,";335559740";:259}"> </span></p>
<p><span data-contrast="auto">But for some ākonga, new stationery is less achievable than most. At the beginning of this year, Stuff reported that some children were staying home from school because of the </span><a href="https://www.stuff.co.nz/national/education/300793775/students-staying-home-from-school-because-they-cant-afford-stationery--teachers" target="_blank"><span data-contrast="none">prohibitive cost of stationery</span></a><span data-contrast="auto">. And as many of you will know, stationery costs can often come out of teachers’ own pockets when the need arises. </span><span data-ccp-props="{";201341983";:0,";335559739";:160,";335559740";:259}"> </span></p>
<p><span data-contrast="auto">For younger students especially, art packs and supplies may be prohibitive, and school art rooms very quickly become costly to keep stocked. </span><span data-ccp-props="{";201341983";:0,";335559739";:160,";335559740";:259}"> </span></p>
<p><span data-contrast="auto">Additionally, money spent on stationery – whether by caregivers or teachers – is money that could’ve been used elsewhere. For whānau struggling in the cost-of-living crisis, that stationery money could be used for groceries, petrol, or even other back-to-school costs such as uniforms. </span></p>
<p><span data-contrast="auto">Of course, teachers also have their own costs, and buying stationery for a whole class or even just a few students can eat up precious funds. For schools, the cost of providing stationery for classes could be spent on other learning resources like wellbeing initiatives, school trips or other classroom technologies or activities. </span><span data-ccp-props="{";134233117";:false,";134233118";:false,";201341983";:0,";335551550";:1,";335551620";:1,";335559685";:0,";335559737";:0,";335559738";:0,";335559739";:160,";335559740";:259}"> </span></p>
