Can I amend an order that I have placed?
Please note we can only make updates to orders within 2 hours of the order being placed. Please contact us to make any changes within this time frame.
What is the best way to stick photos into the journals?
We use Sticky Dots/Glue Dots which can be purchased from Officeworks. We have been using these for years and all photos have remained securely in place.
Can my journal be personalised?
At the moment, we don't offer personalisation. Due to current manufacturing and supply chain delays we have made a conscious decision to not offer personalisation as we want to solely focus on getting our core product out as quickly as possible.
I want to purchase some School Years Journals but my child doesn't start school for another 2 years, are the years pre-printed?
That's fine! The years (ie. 2022, 2023) are not pre-printed in the journals. You will write the years in yourself, so it doesn't matter if your child is already at school or not starting until 2025!
Where are you based and can I collect my order?
We are based in Melbourne, Victoria. Unfortunately we cannot offer pickup as our orders are dispatched from a residential address and we don't have the insurance to allow us to offer this service. However, all orders are dispatched within 48 hours (excluding pre-orders) and we offer an express post option. If you need your order SUPER urgently please reach out and we will do our best to get it in the mail same day.
In the state I live in, we don't refer to the 1st year of Primary School as something different to other states, can I change it?
Weirdly, it seems as though each state in Australia refers to the first year of Primary School as something different (ie. Prep, Foundation, Kindy etc). In an attempt to cater for everyone we refer to first year of Primary School as "First Year of Primary School". The book then goes from Grade 1 to Year 12.
Please also note, the cover of the journal now says "Primary School to Secondary School"
Still have a few questions or not quite sure about something? No worries! I'm here to help. Just shoot me a message using our contact form and I'll get back to you within 24 hours.

These books are beautifully made and designed from a mother's POV. I regret not doing baby books, but wanted to be prepared for my oldest starting school next year. Grabbed for my son and nephew as well as the sale was fab. Thankyou for creating such a lovely product ❤️
Finally found something that has a similar quality to the old school yearbooks that were used 30 years ago, great quality , relevant pages.
I actually have seen these books many times and they looked like the best on the market but I looked at the price and thought it was too expensive, especially since I would need one for each of the three kids. A year or so later after looking everywhere for similar books all I could find was books with terrible reviews about the quality of them, and the prices were still high. I ended up taking the gamble and ordering the School years spiral bound books in each of the colours. Boy was I impressed, you can feel the quality as soon as you pick them up. They are worth every dollar. All of the details in them are amazing and they are so well planned out. Love that they are from Kinder to year 12. They will be such a special keepsake and therefore an amazing investment as I can tell they will last the distance.
Every page is thoughtfully crafted for families to record yearly milestones. Love the fact that there's a transparent folder for every year to add crafts/drawings/pictures! Insanely high quality, highly recommended for every family to have this book. The rings make it so easy to open the pages and write details without ruining the book.
The albums are beautifully crafted, with a thick, substantial feel and a sturdy metal spiral binding. I was pleasantly surprised by their solid construction upon opening. The products are genuinely stunning, and I will certainly be recommending them to others.
Ugghh I am obsessed with this. My partner asked me why I kept holding it 😂 it feels so good quality, I love that I have a place to put all my daughters things from school plus her school photos too, it’s just beautiful
I was really happy with the weight and quality of these albums when they arrived. The plastic pockets are really high quality, and there is so much detail to add on each school year. My children and I are really going to enjoy filling these out over the years. Thank you so much for providing a great product that is relevant and suited to Australian families!
Never knew I needed them till I got them… they are absolutely amazing. No more having school photos scattered in that random draw! Mum journal, gives me the opportunity to do something for me… I’m able to reflect on myself! Thanks fam!
I am so impressed with the quality and layout of these books! I put off getting these because I thought too expensive but I can definitely see where the money is going. They look like they will 100% withstand every year of schooling. I’m looking forward to looking back through them in 20 years time. So worth it.
Received my book for my daughter who is in kindy next year and can say I’ll definitely be ordering again for my other children when they get older. The book is so luxurious and is so simple to fill out I can’t wait to fill it over the years with teachers notes to her that she can look back on as an adult
These journals are just gorgeous! They are heavy and thick and very luxurious quality. I’m so happy I got them for my kids. What a beautiful gift to give them all filled in once they finish high school. Space for each year level including kindy and first year of school - it’s called something different in each state in Australia so it was great it have it no specific to a certain state. Clear pockets for each year to hold keepsakes like artwork or certificates etc. Love there’s space for comments form parents and teachers and I’ve included sport team pics in this space too. So glad I purchased these!!!!
