‘‘We recognise people like to have choice, and that’s why we have a large range of stock,’’ Mr Ritchie said.
The newsagency also has the added benefit of local knowledge.
For those braving their first year at Deniliquin High School, the newsagency’s Year 7 pack provides all the essentials.
It includes a binder book for each subject, a music book, visual art diary, eraser, plus 2B, 4B and 6B pencils, all for $39.
‘‘We have only put together items specified by the school, that way parents can save on costs,’’ Mr Ritchie said.
‘‘Our experienced stationery coordinator Wendy Calagaz is available at any time to advise parents and students with their purchases.
‘‘You can get all your school supplies from us.’’
Also on the list of deals are new Casio FX82 Plus II calculators for $39.99, and inspiring Quill visual art diaries in A5 ($4.95), A4 ($6.95) and A3 ($13.95).
Sovereign A4 refillable display books are also available in a variety of colours, for just $1.95 each.
Deniliquin Newsagency & Bookstore’s supplies also hit the perfect balance of being both functional, and child-friendly.
‘‘Non-toxic PVC book covers are popular for students of all ages, and available in assorted designs,’’ Mr Ritchie said.
‘‘There is also a range of bright, colourfully designed pencil cases, book jackets, contact, display books and document wallets.’’
Mr Ritchie further remarked that ‘‘at the end of the day, when you support local businesses, you support local schools’’.
