Charity "Give Write" has collected and distributed stationery donations to 41 WA schools in the lead up to term one, including Clarkson Community High School.
Teachers from the school visited the charity’s Subiaco office towards the end of the holidays to collect 80 packs to help students who start the year with no stationery.
The packs contained pencil cases filled with school list basics – a set of textas, crayons, pencils, pens, a ruler, sharpener, eraser, highlighter and glue stick.
