Stationery was a must-have for these shoppers.

Last-minute finds for back-to-school shoppers

THE Christmas break is over and its back to school for public schools today.

When The Barbados Advocate visited the City, shoppers were making last-minute purchases of school bags, books, shoes and stationery from the larger department stores as well as the smaller shops and vendors along Swan Street.

Term II began yesterday for teachers, but will officially begin today for students. Several events will take place during the term including the much anticipated – National Primary School’s Athletics Championships and the Barbados Secondary Schools’ Athletics Championships.

The term ends on Thursday, March 26, for students, and Friday, March 27, for teachers.
