Hey there,

Of course you can! Feel free to use any book you like for working. There are many people who use spiral notebooks, ring-bound notebooks, regular exercise books, and some who simply opt for loose leaf and a folder. Whichever works best for you! Your teacher may recommend what they think is best so take that into consideration but remember that it’s really up to you what you use.

Hey,

Sometimes ghosting really depends on the types of pens/highlighters you use and different pens may ‘react’ differently on papers of different brands.

FAM Member 1: I use muji ballpoint pens and daiso highlighters and I find that the graph books from Target don’t ghost when I use them and I also haven’t experienced ghosting with the J.Burrows ring bound books from officeworks. The paper in both these books are 70 GSM if that helps! Also I press quite hard when I write so sometimes the indents will come through but none of the ink transfers :)

FAM Member 2: If you’re looking for cheap notebooks, buy campus notebooks from Daiso (not sure if they sell them anymore though as I haven’t bought one in a while) or muji ones. Some of the more expensive notebooks but super good quality are Rhodia or kikki K.

Love,

Hi there!

Thank you so much! We are so glad you loved it:) As for the henna, you can pretty much get them from any Indian or Sri Lankan store, it is pretty much guaranteed to be there.

Hope that helps:)

Hey,

Definitely try the most obvious places such as Officeworks, some supermarkets (i.e. Coles, Woolies), and places such as Target, Kmart, Big W, etc.

You could also check out Muji, Kikki K, Daiso, and Typo as they may also have the kinds of things you’re looking for!

Hope this helps,

Hey,

I do try to reuse my binders/ folders each year to not waste materials (it’s better for the environment) as well as to save money. Normally there’s only a small portion of things that I want to keep and I’ll just put it in a magazine holder at home. Also a lot of my work is stored on Google Drive so I don’t have too much to hold onto.

Love,

Hey!

We answered a question similar to this a month ago here:

I can’t think of any brands in particular, but I suggest you have a look at brands that specialising in travelling, are made for backpacking, as they are made for carrying lots of heavy stuff.

Love,

Hey there!

FAM member 1: I personally bring my laptop to school

FAM Member 2: It’s completely up to you, if you feel like you need another device, just purchase it. You can only have so many devices when you feel like you’re using them all for the same purpose. Despite having an old iPad, I bought a laptop which is amazingly convenient to have and can do much more - both at home and at school, as well as anywhere else you may need to go to. If you’re still unsure, perhaps buy a keyboard that you can connect and disconnect to your ipad? This is a popular option for many tablet users.

Hope this helps.

Hey there,

We’re not exactly sure which ones we are subscribed to (if we are subscribed to any!), but it’s definitely worth checking the LRC website as there are some useful links there in addition to possible newspapers! By clicking on the link via the LRC website you shouldn’t need to log in to anything.

Click here for LRC website – http://library.macrob.vic.edu.au/home or you can also ask the librarians for extra support :)

Hope this helps!
