School’s back, and the right accessories can keep devices protected, powered, and ready for action. Grab these essential add-ons that help students stay organised, focused, and connected. Words Bec Summer ACCESSORIES ESSENTIAL

Laptop bags and sleeves A school laptop is an investment that goes through a lot, so protecting it is essential. A strong laptop bag cushions against bumps, knocks, and everyday wear and tear, while also giving students room for extras like chargers, notebooks and accessories. Sleeves offer a slimmer option but still deliver crucial protection, especially when sliding into backpacks. With options to fit most laptop or tablet sizes, a good bag or sleeve helps keep a device in top shape and ready for every class.

Monitors A monitor does more than boost screen size – it expands a workspace. Paired with a laptop or tablet, it makes multitasking smoother; you can keep research open on one screen while writing essays on another. This added screen real estate also helps with creative tasks like video editing or diagram reviews. For homework, presentations or study sessions, even a modest monitor can significantly improve a home learning setup.

Headphones Headphones are a must for schoolwork, quiet listening, and shared spaces where blasting music isn’t an option. For kids, volume-limiting models are the way to go, helping protect young ears. Comfort, durability and simple controls also make a big difference in day-to-day use. Whether it’s language lessons, online classes, or downtime playlists, the right headphones can keep students focused without disturbing anyone around them.
