Getting ready for the back-to-school season doesn’t have to be a whirlwind of stress and last-minute dashes from shop to shop.

This year, Camberwell Junction has everything you need to tick off those back-to-school lists without the chaos.

Here’s your go-to guide for back-to-school essentials and where to find them, all within the convenience of Camberwell Junction’s bustling shopping precinct.

Stationery and tech essentials

School stationery requirements can feel endless, but there’s no need to stress. Simply take your list straight to Officeworks and let their team do the hard work for you. From exercise books and calculators to pens, rulers and folders, they’ve got every back-to-school essential covered.

While your order is being organised, pop into Smiggle and surprise your kids with something fun to kick off the new school year – think colourful pencil cases, quirky notebooks, or vibrant pen sets that make going back to school a little more exciting.

For affordable stationery basics, Kmart is a top choice, and it’s also a great spot to pick up other everyday items that might be on your school list. Need laptops, tablets or more advanced electronics? Head over to JB Hi-Fi for a full range of back-to-school technology solutions.

Clothing and school bags sorted

Kids seem to grow faster than ever over summer, so a new school wardrobe is likely in order. Find everything from t-shirts and shorts to socks and sporting gear at Kmart and the Bonds Outlet.

And don’t forget to swing by Aldi’s centre aisles, where their much-anticipated back-to-school specials include great deals on school uniforms, bags and other essentials.

Step into the school year with the right shoes

Shoes are a back-to-school item worth prioritising. Well-fitted, high-quality school shoes – whether formal or sports-specific – are vital for your child’s comfort, posture, and ability to participate fully in class and physical activities.

From classic lace-ups to Mary Janes and t-bars, Shoes & Sox offers a variety of styles to suit every child. For sports footwear, The Athlete’s Foot has options for every activity, ensuring your kids are ready to hit the playground or sports field in comfort.

For those seeking podiatry-approved options, Active Feet has you covered with footwear designed for growing feet.

If last year’s shoes just need a little attention, visit Arcade Shoe Repairs or Arthur’s Shoe Repairs to get them re-heeled, polished, or restored for another term of wear.
