Good day Reader

We hope you are all keeping well. As we step into the busy Back to School season, we would like to thank you for your continued support and remind you of a few important updates as we prepare for the 2026 school year.

✅ 2026 Booklists Now Available

All 2026 school year booklists are now live and available for purchase on our website. We strongly encourage ordering as early as possible to avoid delays and ensure stock availability, especially for high-demand titles.

⏰ Order Deadline – 15 December 2025

Please note that the order deadline for ALL Back to School orders is 15 December 2025. Orders placed on or before this date will be prioritized to ensure delivery before schools reopen in 2026.

Orders placed after 15 December will still be accepted and processed, however, we cannot guarantee delivery before the first day of school.
