2026 Student Supply Lists 

Student supply lists for 2026 are now available from Campion Education. https://www.campion.com.au                      

Parkdale PS code 9XVQ

 

If you set up an account last year you will be able to login using the same details. If not, you can set up a new account. 

 

A copy of the supply list for each grade level has been sent home via Compass as well as an online ordering instruction sheet.  The link and supply lists are also available on the school website.

 

We have endeavoured, once again, to keep the cost of the lists as low as possible whilst still supplying children with everything that they need. We understand that the number of glue sticks and whiteboard markers that are included on the list may seem excessive, but we absolutely do need them.  The children use whiteboard markers every day as part of the 'Checking for Understanding' process we use with small whiteboards.  This year we had to top up our supply of markers for most levels by Term 3. 

 

It is certainly up to parents as to whether you order from Campion or source materials yourself. We would, however, highly recommend that you carefully consider ordering through the Campion system. This ensures that children receive exactly what is required.  When making the decision about purchasing materials from Campion please consider the following:

  • The quality of the materials from Campion is excellent. Cheaper is not always a good option. Cheap glue sticks and whiteboard markers for example are just not effective         

  • Workbooks must have the correct line spacings and dotted thirds which is different for each grade level. 

  • Handwriting and New Wave Mental Maths books are specific, and the children must have the exact handwriting book and Mental Maths book that is listed on their form

 

If you would like your order from Campion to be home delivered, your order must be completed online before 17th December.  Delivery will then take place by 24th January at a discounted cost of $12.00.  Orders for delivery after this date will incur a higher cost and there is no guarantee of delivery before school starts.    If you would prefer to you can go directly to Campion Store (232-236 Wickham Road, Moorabbin) in January with your list and they will compile the order whilst you wait. Please check the website for details on trading hours.

 

Please note that students will require all items on the supply list.  We have indicated items that you may like to source yourself or retain from this year but the children must arrive on the first day of 2026 with everything on their list.

 

This year we found that some students arrived with some items that we had not added to our lists. Please be aware that there may be a pop up on the site that mentions additional items that you may like to purchase - a "suggestive sell" option.  WE DO NOT REQUIRE THE STUDENTS TO PURCHASE ANYTHING THAT IS NOT INCLUDED ON OUR PPS SUPPLY LIST.
