Can I use Typo A4 spiral notebooks instead of the regular exercise books?
Hey there,
Of course you can! Feel free to use any book you like for working. There are many people who use spiral notebooks, ring-bound notebooks, regular exercise books, and some who simply opt for loose leaf and a folder. Whichever works best for you! Your teacher may recommend what they think is best so take that into consideration but remember that it’s really up to you what you use.

adding onto the ask about cute/aesthetic books, display folders, et cetera ! do you know any brands of notebooks or school books with pages that don't ghost through easily ?
Hey,
Sometimes ghosting really depends on the types of pens/highlighters you use and different pens may ‘react’ differently on papers of different brands.
FAM Member 1: I use muji ballpoint pens and daiso highlighters and I find that the graph books from Target don’t ghost when I use them and I also haven’t experienced ghosting with the J.Burrows ring bound books from officeworks. The paper in both these books are 70 GSM if that helps! Also I press quite hard when I write so sometimes the indents will come through but none of the ink transfers :)
FAM Member 2: If you’re looking for cheap notebooks, buy campus notebooks from Daiso (not sure if they sell them anymore though as I haven’t bought one in a while) or muji ones. Some of the more expensive notebooks but super good quality are Rhodia or kikki K.

HEY FAM!! Just wanted to say congrats on the amazing R U OK day. I was just wondering where you guys got the henna tubes/pens/ paste (not sure what it's called) from. Thanks :)
Hi there!
Thank you so much! We are so glad you loved it:) As for the henna, you can pretty much get them from any Indian or Sri Lankan store, it is pretty much guaranteed to be there.
Hope that helps:)
Love FAM xx
hii !! i'm got into macrob for next year and i was wondering if you know any places to buy cute/aesthetic notebooks/exercise books, display folders, et cetera for class?
Hey,
Definitely try the most obvious places such as Officeworks, some supermarkets (i.e. Coles, Woolies), and places such as Target, Kmart, Big W, etc.
You could also check out Muji, Kikki K, Daiso, and Typo as they may also have the kinds of things you’re looking for!
Hope this helps,

do you buy new binders / folders every year? or do you reuse the folders you used last year? if so, where do you keep last year's stuff that you stored in that folder, if you think you'll need to find it again later?
Hey,
I do try to reuse my binders/ folders each year to not waste materials (it’s better for the environment) as well as to save money. Normally there’s only a small portion of things that I want to keep and I’ll just put it in a magazine holder at home. Also a lot of my work is stored on Google Drive so I don’t have too much to hold onto.
Love,

Hi I'm sorry if this has already been asked but which brands do you suggest for backpacks that provide good back support, because travelling to and from school takes a while and I've got to carry lots too! What is good quality? Below $100
Hey!
We answered a question similar to this a month ago here:
http://friendsatmacrob.tumblr.com/post/171407779707/hey-fam-i-know-that-schools-is-gonna-implement-a
I can’t think of any brands in particular, but I suggest you have a look at brands that specialising in travelling, are made for backpacking, as they are made for carrying lots of heavy stuff.
Love,

Do you guys use a desktop computer or a laptop for school? Do you use both? I normally use my family's computer at home and bring my iPad to school, but I'm thinking of buying a laptop because it will be easier to type. but idk because I feel like I have so many devices already...
Hey there!
FAM member 1: I personally bring my laptop to school
FAM Member 2: It’s completely up to you, if you feel like you need another device, just purchase it. You can only have so many devices when you feel like you’re using them all for the same purpose. Despite having an old iPad, I bought a laptop which is amazingly convenient to have and can do much more - both at home and at school, as well as anywhere else you may need to go to. If you’re still unsure, perhaps buy a keyboard that you can connect and disconnect to your ipad? This is a popular option for many tablet users.
Hope this helps.

I was wondering does our school have subscriptions to any online newspapers? And if so, would we be given the login details?
Hey there,
We’re not exactly sure which ones we are subscribed to (if we are subscribed to any!), but it’s definitely worth checking the LRC website as there are some useful links there in addition to possible newspapers! By clicking on the link via the LRC website you shouldn’t need to log in to anything.
Click here for LRC website – http://library.macrob.vic.edu.au/home or you can also ask the librarians for extra support :)
Hope this helps!
