Testimonials

"I wanted to let you know how impressed I am with the Kookaburra resources website and ease of schoolbook ordering. I currently have 3 children attending school here in Maryborough, we have 2 businesses and time is something we struggle with. Having access to schoolbook ordering on the Kookaburra website is truly a sanity saver. I simply enter in a code given to us by the school and I can pick and choose whatever items I need, the prices are clear and competitive and the books literally arrive on my doorstep in time for the school year. Each child has their own separate box, so I don’t have to sort out who’s items are who’s and I finally feel like one of those “organised” parents. Thank you so much for providing this much needed service to us ‘time poor’ parents."

"We used Kookaburra as our supplier for all our back to school student stationery for 2021. Our account manager Deb Hunter made the process of ordering and delivery seamless. We are very happy with the quality and price of the products ordered. We will definitely be using Kookaburra in the future for all our stationery needs."

"Roxburgh Rise Primary School made the move to Kookaburra for 2021 for our back to school student supplies. With 800 students, we received a perfect delivery, no back orders and under the watchful eye of our Account Manager Leanne McAleese and State Manager Dean Charge. We are happy to support an Australian Company who has proven they can be competitive amongst suppliers."

"Earlier this year I entered a competition to win an Ozobot STEM starter pack from Kookaburra Educational Resources. My students at Jesmond Public School were thrilled when I told them that the Ozobot was on the way to assist with our classroom learning.
Since it arrived, the Ozobot has been a great tool to support student STEM learning and engagement. The students have loved working collaboratively, independently, and collectively to achieve different activities and observe different ways we can use the Ozobot in our classroom.
I introduced the Ozobot as a new special addition to our classroom and collectively we called him ‘Aussie’. We then discussed different ways that Aussie could be involved in our learning.
My students and I would like to thank Kookaburra Educational Resources for the opportunity to include Aussie in our classroom. He has been an amazing addition to our classroom learning."

"I am truly grateful and amazed at the level of service, quality and price of Kookaburra’s resources and options for our Student Packs!
Susannah has been so incredibly helpful! She has completely taken the stress out of managing our Student Packs for next year. She is in very regular contact and is always prompt in her replies, nothing has been too much to ask! As a result, she has helped us in more areas than just our booklists, but in other areas for resources also.
Susannah has ensured that we have had the best experience and we felt completely confident working with her! She is a credit to your company.
I can say with certainty that we will choose Kookaburra more regularly due to our experiences with Susannah!"

"Alistair from Kookaburra has been outstanding with his pre and post purchase of the CommBox Touchscreen Panels. Any query was never a problem and he always promptly replied when emailed. Alistair ensured that all steps in the process were followed up by himself – from delivery to installation to post-installation. His detailed knowledge of the product was very reassuring and ensured we were purchasing a product which would absolutely meet our needs. If he wasn’t sure of an answer to one of our questions – he would seek out the correct contact and find out the required information.

Alistair was personable, helpful and up-beat about his service to us at Clayfield College Junior School. We have now received 3 fabulous CommBox touchscreen panels, installed beautifully, without any hiccups along the way. Thank you Alistair and Kookaburra. It has been a pleasure doing business with you."

"The CommBox Touchscreens our school purchased from Kookaburra Educational Resources are fantastic! They have taken interactive teaching to a higher level. Our teachers, students and administration staff are all so happy with our new purchase.

I would personally like to thank Alistair Taylor for his support both before and after our purchase of the CommBox products. It was an absolute pleasure working with him and I appreciate the time he spent on the phone, via email as well as in person going through our purchase with us. Nothing was too much trouble or too small an issue for him to address. Alistair is a great ambassador for Kookaburra Educational Resources."

"I’m loving teaching directly from the online syllabus using my favourite board … not a chalkboard, not an OHP, not a magnetic whiteboard, not an IWB (eg. SmartBoard), but a touchscreen TV on wheels from CommBox. It comes with Chalk Box FREE software so that I can annotate and draw all over the syllabus images to differentiate and make the maths visible!

Thank you so much to Jono from Kookaburra for setting up the CommBox touchscreen for my presentation last week. All the staff who I presented to were so excited to see it in action and to see how easy it was for me to install the Chalk Box software in under 5 minutes!

If you’re looking for a new interactive teaching solution, I highly recommend trialling the CommBox touchscreen. You won’t be disappointed with its extensive features and easy set up."

"I recently purchased a 75" CommBox Touchscreen from Kookaburra and had it installed in our school. I must say, the CommBox Touchscreen is such an easy and effective piece of equipment to use in the classroom. No longer do our teachers have to be tied to a "front of class" learning area, they can move the touchscreen around the whole class depending on whether they are doing small group work, carpet time or sitting at their desks. The ability to adjust the height also helps with good ergonomics and clear visibility for the whole class."

"I would like to thank Kookaburra for the easy ordering and swift delivery of school supplies. As a parent, the task of tracking down school supplies is tedious and time consuming. Every year I have to treck the shops looking for school items and it leaves me exhausted. This year I saved so much time, petrol and stress because I ordered through Kookaburra’s website. It was just so simple!

Our orders arrived quickly, delivered straight to our door and everything was there as expected.Thank you Kookaburra for the ease of ordering school supplies. Your service is a great time saver for busy parents!"

Angela Stanton, Parent

"I have been dealing with Kookaburra for many years now and have always been extremely satisfied with the service that our school receives.

Our school was due for various projector upgrades and the Hitachi Project Green Cash-Back Program offered an extra incentive at the perfect time for us. We have so far recycled 7 old projectors and purchased 7 new ones through Kookaburra and the Hitachi Green Cash-Back Program. It was a great feeling to not be committing the projectors to landfill and an added bonus to receive a cheque in the mail!"

"Our college has 13 CommBox Touchscreens which were all ordered through Kookaburra. We found Kookaburra very customer focused. They organised delivery and assembled the mobile trolleys for us. We have found the CommBoxes to be very reliable and the teachers adapt to using them very quickly. The CommBox delivers a very clear and sharp picture and they are a big improvement on the data projector. Our experience with Kookaburra and with CommBox products has been very rewarding."

"Kookaburra have been printing our Personalised School Display Folders for many years now. At Biddabah Public School we use these folders for anything from Kindergarten reports through to Year 6 student profiles. We have always enjoyed a fanstastic working relationship with Kookaburra and the ease of ordering and delivery of these folders is remarkable. The artwork and display folders are always delivered to a very high standard and with a minimum of fuss.

I whole heartedly recommend Kookaburra to supply you with the highest quality folders, printed with expediency and the impeccable service that they continue to offer all their customers."

"Congratulations Kookaburra! Your back to school ordering process and supply of products has been wonderful. I have just received our BTS order and it was pleasing to have the right quantities of everything that was ordered and the right products. Your catalogue was so easy to use to locate products and your prices were cheaper in comparison to some other companies.

Thank you for a smooth back to school process. We would highly recommend your services to any school looking for a simple, easy and cost effective partner for their back to school needs. We will definitely be using your services again."

"Kookaburra is professional and efficient and their Student Packs are hassle-free. They are a one-stop shop for all our student book and stationery needs. Having a Pack means there is consistency for the teacher with all students having the same items.

The Packs are really convenient for parents. They are able to order online in their own time with their child. They can also deal directly with Kookaburra, which means they have control of their order. All the queries are dealt with for us.

By using the online portal we are also able to significantly cut down our use of paper, making us more environmentally-friendly and efficient.

It is just so easy to work with Kookaburra!"

"Student Packs take the pressure off everyone – staff, parents and students. They are tremendously helpful in taking the chaos out of back-to-school. The whole process is easy, all the administration and distribution is looked after for us.

Kookaburra’s pricing is so competitive and the products are great quality. We are always quoted the best price and it’s a great advantage that the parents are able to access the discounted education pricing.

The Kookaburra team are very competent and professional. Nothing is too hard. Any questions are dealt with quickly and they are always able to find a solution for us.

Kookaburra really understands our local market. We always receive a really high level of service and they make us feel extremely important as a very valued customer."

"Kookaburra provides St Josephs with a customised, compulsory stationery pack for our primary students. We have found that by using a standardised pack, we are able to ensure that all students have access to the same equipment in the classroom. This is a great advantage for our teachers as the students are working with the exact items they have requested.

All the items that are provided in the Kookaburra Student Packs are of a very high quality and are reasonably priced. This saves our parents shopping around, as all the items are selected for them and outlined in the Pack.

The Student Pack process is really easy. Our orders are filled quickly and Packs are returned punctually to the school in time for our orientation. They really do simplify the whole process."

Helen Hart, Kinder Teacher
St Josephs Primary School, Kempsey

"Kookaburra’s Student Pack service works exceptionally well for St Columba. We find the whole process to be flexible and easily customised to our needs. Providing the packs online for our parents to purchase saves them time and means there is one less thing they have to worry about. The packs provide a complete solution and contain exactly what our students need. With delivery to the student’s home, Student Packs will relieve the school administration of time consuming collation and distribution. The whole process is streamlined.

We have found Kookaburra’s pricing to be extremely competitive and the packs are a cost effective option for our students and their parents.

The Kookaburra customer service team are efficient and helpful, with a can-do attitude."
