Frequently Asked Questions
Can I customise the diary content?
Absolutely.
Some of the features customised by our school clients include:
- Front cover design
- School specific dates
- Study tip of the week
- Weekly devotions
- Weekly habits of the heart & mind
- School policies
The layout and design of each page can also be customised to suit your school’s preferences.
You may wish to include vinyl pockets to store student pens, notes & USBs.
Bookmark options are also available.
Will you deliver the diaries for the start of the school year?
Yes.
We pride ourselves on understanding the importance of the school diary to students, teachers and parents.
We work with each school to ensure the production timelines are met.
As we are a printing and design company we have full control over the production of the diaries. The timely approval of artwork is critical to ensuring this runs smoothly.
Some schools provide the content mid-year to ensure their diaries arrive prior to the Christmas school holidays.
We also work with booklist companies who may be packaging the diary with the student text books.
Will I receive a proof of my diary before they are printed?
Yes.
We provide electronic proofs for you to check and approve.
A brief instructional video walks you through marking up electronic changes to make this process as easy as possible.
How do we make changes to our proof?
To streamline the process and make sure we capture all of the changes you require, we encourage you to make your alterations on the PDF supplied by our design team.

Has this website changed?
Yes. Good spotting.
We have been providing school diaries for over 20 years and we have just changed our visual brand and website.
You may have met us at several education conferences throughout Australia or received our brochures in the mail or via email. In the past our brand used orange and green. The new brand is more synergistic with our parent brand, Openbook Howden Print & Design.
Do you print other school products?
Yes, we are glad you asked.
We print a range of materials from newsletter shells, letterhead and presentation folders, through to school prospectuses and yearbooks or magazines.
