FAQs
Will the term tab dividers align with my school's term dates?
Yes!
One of our priorities when designing this planner was that it needed to be flexible to suit the needs of teachers all around Australia.
The term tab pages are moveable within the planner which means you can insert them to suit your school's term dates. How good!
How do the moveable term tabs work?
The term tab pages are reinforced and sliced along the binding which means the pages can be removed and relocated within the planner.
The reinforcing along the binding prevents the pages from ripping when you remove them, and you can push them back into the binding at any point throughout the planner.
Is this planner suitable for all year levels and subjects?
Absolutely!
Our planners were crafted with the needs of high school teachers in mind, but their versatile design makes them equally suitable for primary school, early childhood educators or even university lecturers or private tutors.
Whether you're guiding students through complex subjects in high school, laying the foundation for lifelong learning in early childhood, or working one-on-one with students, our planner provides the organisational tools and flexibility to support your unique teaching journey at any year level.
Does this planner have weekends?
No, our planners do not include space specifically designated for planning the weekend.
We've made a deliberate decision to prioritise ample space for your to-do lists to help you stay organised and focused on your daily tasks throughout the week. Your feedback via our customer surveys also supports this decision.
However, we understand that some of you may still want to jot down weekend plans or notes. That's why we've included a blank space underneath the to-do list section, allowing for flexibility and customisation to suit your individual needs. This space provides the perfect opportunity to add any additional notes, reminders, or weekend plans as desired.
Are your planners sustainable?
Our planners are made with FSC-certified paper which ensures it's from responsibly managed forests that meet strict environmental, social, and economic standards.
We've also partnered with an ISO 14001-certified manufacturer, ensuring our products are made with environmentally responsible practices for a sustainable future.
Where are your products made?
Our products are proudly designed right here in Melbourne, however, to bring our vision to life, our products are manufactured in China. Despite our efforts to manufacture locally, our unique moveable term pages necessitated production overseas.
We have a close relationship with our wonderful manufacturer, and are proud to partner with such a professional and high-quality company.
Our manufacturer is ISO-certified, which means that it upholds rigorous quality standards and uses FSC-certified materials for sustainability.
We conduct quality checks from our headquarters in Australia. Plus, we stay closely involved in the manufacturing process to guarantee that every planner lives up to our high standards.
How many notes pages are there?
- 4 lined planning pages at the front of the planner.
- 1 unlined page at the start of every term (great for brainstorming/class layout planning)
- 1 lined notes page after every week throughout the planner
- 9 note pages at the back of the planner
