School Supplies Can Now be Ordered for 2025/26
This year, we have changed our school supplier company to School Start for the 2025-2026 school year. This change will save you both time and money compared with our previous supplier. For current Grade 6 students proceeding to junior high next year, please reach out to your child’s next school for more information.
Parents and guardians may purchase their child’s entire set of school supplies in a package or select items individually from the School Start website. To save costs for parents and guardians, we have proceeded with two changes:
- We have transitioned from traditional brand names when possible.
- The company sources many of its products from Canadian suppliers and manufacturers to mitigate additional costs resulting from the evolving situation involving tariffs on many American-made products.
Parents can go directly to: https://schoolstart.ca/, and click on the following:
- Parents Shop Here
- Purchase School Supply Kits
- Select Province, then City, then School
- Click Here to Purchase (top of the page)
- Finally, they click on their grade (and program) and proceed from there. Please note that there are separate supply lists for our community program and our Cogito Program.
If parents and guardians wish to do so, they can call the School Start customer service centre at 1-800-580-1868 to place their order over the phone. Additionally, orders can be placed over the summer, rather than being subject to a deadline before the end of the school year.
For parents and guardians who wish to purchase items in local stores, you can access the supply lists by clicking on the following link:

The lists have been updated on our website. Please note that many items on these lists have been made more generic, where possible, with no expectation that parents and guardians will purchase brand-name products to save costs.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact the school at 780-459-4478.
