Button label

Thirteen years of school produces an extraordinary amount of paper. Class photos in envelopes. Certificates in a drawer. The portrait where the tooth is missing, the one where the uniform is enormous, the one from the year everything changed. Most of it ends up in a box nobody opens.

Our school albums and journals give all of it one place to live, from the first day of school to the last. Linen bound, personalised with their name, and built to be handed over when they leave home.

What is the difference between the album and the journal?

The School Photo Album is for the photographs — school portraits and class photos, one year per spread, 40 self-adhesive pages holding around 200 photos. Your School Years is the organiser: dividers for every year, sleeves for certificates and reports, and room for the artwork and the notes home. Most families end up with both.

How do I organise years of school photos?

By year, not by type. The common mistake is sorting into piles of portraits and piles of class photos, which means you can never see a single year at a glance. Give each school year one spread and the order takes care of itself for the next decade.

What about kura and sport?

Artwork from kura and school both belong in the organiser rather than the photo album — it is built for paper. Team photos, seasons and medals need their own home, or they crowd out the school years. Our Sports Photos Album is the same size and format, so it sits alongside the school album on the shelf.

When should I start?

Whenever you are. If you already have eight years in a drawer, an afternoon sorts them — self-adhesive pages need no glue or corners. If you are starting at new entrants, it is one photo a year for thirteen years, which is the easiest habit we sell. Gold foil caption cards let you note the year and the teacher beside each photo.
