Your ultimate 2025 back to school checklist
The bell to signal the start of the 2025 school year is about to ring.
Getting ready can be a huge task; from what to pack in their school bag to making sure they have the uniform, shoes and more ready to go. Luckily, Westfield Innaloo is your one-stop-shop for everything they’ll need for the school year.
Here's your official checklist to help you on your way when your little one returns to the classroom.
Fresh stationery
Depending on their year level, your child may only need a few new pens and pencils, or the works: a diary, calculator, notebooks, and a pencil case. Either start fresh or check what is missing from the last school year. Try visiting Kmart, Target and Typo to grab all their stationery needs all in one go.

Upgraded gadgets
A decent pair of headphones is necessary for all kids these days – if not used for school, then to silence the sounds of them watching their favourite show or playing their video games after school. Head to EB Games or Target.
Don’t forget extra chargers and batteries – the essentials that can never be found when we really need them!
Smart school shoes
If they’re due for new school shoes (and sports shoes), head straight to Betts and Spendless Shoes.
Some footwear stores also have professional fitting services and offer online bookings to make it as easy as possible to get your kids’ footwear sorted for the new school year.
Backpack basics
Whether it’s time to update their bag or size up there’s lots of great designs to suit your child’s age group. Head into Target, Kmart, Typo, or Strand.

Essential accessories
You can never have too many of the day-to-day basics like hair accessories, lunchboxes, school and sports socks and even spare undies. Stores like Lovisa, Typo, Kmart and Target will have you covered on all counts. Pro tip: Invest in iron-on or sticky labels and attach them to everything in their bag.
Homework station
Create a desk set-up that will get your kids excited to study... Well, you can try, right?! Set your child up with a desk, chair and storage space to keep their homework supplies organised by visiting Kmart, Target, Adairs.
Encourage your kids to get creative and personalise their desk area with some posters and decorations from QBD Books, Typo, Kmart and Target.
Visit a hairdresser
Time to tidy up the kid's hair after a summer full of swimming in the ocean or pool. Get it done at Salon Express, Redz, Barber Nation, Vivi Salon or Price Attack.
Uniform alterations
Almost all uniforms need a little tweaking. We have you covered with alteration services available at LookSmart Alterations. To help families kick the year off to a good start, LookSmart is offering 10% OFF school uniform alterations until 14/2/2025. Click for details.
