One of the best parts of the start of a new school year is the opportunity to go shopping for new school supplies. For your first day of school, make sure you’re prepared with our essential back-to-school stationery buying list, which includes, of course, the finest school pens.
Why is it necessary to keep track of all of your stationery?
Having the correct tools of the trade is essential in any field, and education is no different. As long as you use nice pencils and rubbers for draught work and good school ink pens for final draughts, your writing will always be clean and legible.
What school supplies do I need to purchase?
You may need additional back to school stationery for certain topics, but this is a decent starting point when shopping for school stationery.
Make sure your pencil case is big enough to hold all of your school supplies, so you don’t have to rummage around in the middle of class.
With a 30cm ruler, for example, an extra long pencil case is required. You may also use a 20cm pencil case if you obtain a smaller or foldable ruler.
Pencils in either blue or black ink
The fast-drying ink of ballpoint pens makes them ideal for jotting down rapid notes. Even though most students use blue ballpoint pens for school assignments, having a black ballpoint pen on hand is a good idea.
Colored ballpoint pens are readily available, so if your school permits it, you may want to have some on hand to help you remember specific notes.
PENS IN THE FOUNTAIN
When you use a high-quality school fountain pen, your essays and other examined work will have a more polished appearance.
Ink cartridges for fountain pens are often used in schools since they are easy to carry as spares and can be easily replaced in the midst of a lesson.
HIGHLIGHTERS
Colored highlighters are available in a number of shades, including neon yellow, pink, green, and blue, and are used to draw attention to certain sections of text.
You may get the Staedtler Textsurfer Classic Highlighter in eight different colours so that you can color-code your emphasis.
To help you recall important passages in your school notes and textbooks, under no circumstances should you make use of these notes in a textbook that you must return.

A set of high-brightness pencils
There are two types of pencils: HB (mid hardness) and HB (softness). For shading, use B-grade pencils; for fine details and technical drawing, use H-grade pencils.
It is important to remember that “H” stands for “Hard,” and the letter “B” stands for “Black,” since the softer lead produces a deeper colour when used.
F pencils are another option. F stands for “Firm” and is a little firmer lead, equivalent to HB in feel and quality. F pencils are less prevalent, although some people like them because they are more pleasant to write with.
For those of us who still remember the yellow and black of our elementary school days, the Staedtler Noris graphite pencil is the go-to choice. It’s also available in grades B, 2B, H, and 2H.
Rubber, a Sharpener for Pencils, and an Arbitrator
Consider the other things and accessories in your pencil box, as well as the school pens, while you’re shopping for supplies.
Your pencil lines will be straight and narrow if you use a folding ruler for your smaller pencil cases. Rubber and pencil sharpeners may help you maintain your pencil sketches on the straight and narrow.
To avoid sharpening and to keep extra lead in the barrel of the body, propelling pencils are a common choice.
Will various topics need different materials?
There may be specific stationery requirements for certain disciplines, such as:
Additional tools including a protractor, set squares for 30- and 45-degree triangles, and a pair of compasses are often included in MATHS math stationery packages.
If you plan to do a lot of drawing in circles, you’ll want to have an extra regular HB pencil handy to use with your set of compasses, which are often referred to as “compass” by the general public.
ENGLISH
English classes are the most probable places where you’ll have your handwriting evaluated, due to the widespread belief that clear, legible handwriting is essential to the creation of stories and written language.
When writing a lengthy essay, instead of using a cheap ballpoint pen, consider investing a little more money on a high-quality fountain pen.
SCIENCE
When it comes to sketching in science and technology, you’ll need a tougher H-grade pencil for finer lines, or a F pencil for a medium-grade option that’s close to HB but won’t wear out as soon.
To save time and effort while drawing experiment diagrams, you may choose to purchase a scientific stencil that contains all of the standard symbols and equipment outlines in the correct size.
