If your school has school desks Australia that come with built-in storage for supplies and books, it is important to train your students to know how to organise their desks. If a desk gets too cluttered, it can be difficult to get what you want. As a student, you can clean your desk by removing things, sorting them out and getting rid of the items you do not need. You can then organise your desk using tape to divide it into sections and having a spot for books, using containers to organise smaller supplies and so on.
Cleaning out your desk
Before you organise your desk, you should take everything out. Lay your things on top of the desk so that you can see them all. You may have to pile a few things up if they are many. Once it is all laid out on the desk, you can see what you have and start sorting things out. If you do not have enough room on top of your desk, you can set other things on your chair, a nearby table or on the floor. If you cannot take everything out of your desk at once, you can easily remove a few things at a time, sort them out and discard those things you don’t need.
You should sort things into piles. These piles could be notebooks, textbooks, folders, notebooks, supplies like rulers, pens, compass, and so on. Sorting your things out will help you see the number of sections you can organise your desk into. Some educational furniture comes with sections so you can utilise them effectively.
Recycle, file and pack up old papers
Your desk is likely to be filled with graded handouts and papers. You should look at all of it to see what you already have. Recycle whatever you do not need. Keep your papers in your backpack if your parents will want to see them and those you do not need at school. It is also a good idea to look through the papers and know the ones you can put in folders.
Wipe down your desk
Now that everything is out, you should take a wet paper towel with cleaning wipes or soap and give your desk a clean over. Wipe down the inside of your desk and under it. wipe around the legs to ensure it is clean.
Filling the desk
Now that the desk is clean, you should use masking tape to divide it into sections of storage. One way you can keep things in place is to create two to three sections inside the desk. Use tape to divide your desk. You will want a large section for textbooks, folders and notebooks, the other half you can store the rest of the items you need.
Store large items first
One way of keeping school desks Australia stable is to ensure heavy and large things are at the bottom. Your folders and books should be at the bottom as they are heavier. Store items you will need less frequently at the back.
