A new school term comes with excitement, but it can also come with a long list of expenses.
From school fees to uniforms and transportation, getting everything ready at once can put pressure on the household budget.
Use this simple Back-to-School Checklist to plan ahead:
1. School Fees
Confirm the fees due, payment deadline, and any additional school charges so you can plan accordingly.
2. Books & Learning Materials
Check what your child already has before buying new items. Make a list of textbooks, notebooks, stationery, and other required supplies.
3. Uniforms & Footwear
Inspect last term's uniforms and shoes. Replace what no longer fits or is no longer suitable.
4. Transport
Whether your child uses school transport, public transport, or a private arrangement, factor transportation costs into your termly budget.
5. Other Essentials
Don't forget lunch expenses, school bags, extracurricular activities, and other school-related costs that may come up during the term.
