Setting up a classroom for a new school year is about more than making the walls look good. The right back to school classroom decor can help create a classroom that feels organised, predictable and easy for students to navigate from their very first day.

The Philip Bunting x Gifted and Talented Teacher Back to School Classroom Decor Collection brings together more than 100 printable and editable teacher resources, classroom displays and classroom decor resources designed for Australian primary classrooms.

Created in collaboration with Australian author and illustrator Philip Bunting, the collection combines his playful illustrations with practical resources teachers use every day — from visual timetables and classroom labels to alphabet posters, number displays, calendars, classroom rules and classroom organisation resources.

Classroom decor with a purpose

Effective primary classroom decor should do more than fill a wall.

Thoughtfully designed classroom displays can provide students with useful visual information, make frequently used resources easier to locate and support predictable classroom routines.

That is why the Back to School Classroom Decor Collection has been designed around the everyday interactions that happen across a school day.

An alphabet display gives students a reference point when reading and writing. A visual classroom timetable helps students see what is happening next. Classroom labels make resources easier to find and return independently. A classroom agreement provides a visible reminder of shared expectations.

The result is classroom decor that looks beautiful while serving a practical purpose.

More than 100 printable classroom resources

The collection includes more than 100 printable and editable classroom resources that can be mixed and matched to create a coordinated classroom.

Teachers can choose from resources including alphabet posters in a range of Australian handwriting fonts, number posters and number lines, place value displays, skip counting displays, classroom calendars and flip calendars, visual timetables and daily schedules, classroom rules and classroom agreements, classroom jobs displays, birthday displays, weather displays, classroom door displays, classroom labels and tote tray labels, desk plates, binder covers and spines, classroom borders and bunting, lettering and display tiles, colour posters, morning greetings, voice level displays, affirmation resources, visible learning displays, Acknowledgement of Country resources, classroom quote posters, back to school activities and student resources.

Rather than purchasing a single classroom decor bundle filled with resources you may never use, teachers can choose the individual resources that suit their classroom, students and teaching style.

Back to school classroom decor for Australian teachers

Finding classroom decor for Australian primary schools can be surprisingly difficult.

Many classroom decor packs are created for international classrooms and use different spelling, handwriting conventions, terminology, seasons or classroom routines.

Featured: Alphabet Posters in New South Wales Foundation Font (all Australian State and Territory fonts include, alongside KG Primary School Penmanship and Sassoon Font).

Gifted and Talented Teacher resources are created by an Australian teacher with Australian classrooms in mind.

The Back to School Classroom Decor Collection includes options for different Australian handwriting styles, editable components and practical resources designed to work across a range of primary classroom settings.

Whether you are setting up a Kindergarten classroom, Stage 1 classroom, Stage 2 classroom, Stage 3 classroom or Foundation to Year 6 learning space, teachers can select the resources that suit their students.

Printable and editable classroom decor

Classrooms are not one-size-fits-all, so many resources throughout the collection include editable classroom decor options.

Editable elements allow teachers to adapt resources to suit their own class names, routines, subjects, bell times, student names, classroom jobs and organisational systems.

Resources can be downloaded, printed and prepared for the classroom, making them suitable for teachers planning their classroom setup for the new school year or refreshing an existing classroom during the year.

A classroom theme without the theme

The Philip Bunting x Gifted and Talented Teacher collection has been designed to coordinate without requiring every classroom display to look exactly the same.

Featured: Quote Posters - Back to School Classroom Decor

The collection combines natural tones, timber details, gum leaves, familiar school objects, bright pops of colour and Philip Bunting's distinctive Australian illustrations.

This makes it possible to create a cohesive classroom aesthetic while still choosing the resources your classroom actually needs.

Teachers can keep their classroom neutral, introduce brighter colour, or combine elements from across the collection to create their own classroom style.

Classroom organisation resources for greater independence

Back to school is also an opportunity to establish the systems students will use throughout the year.

Clear classroom labels, visual schedules, classroom jobs, desk resources and organisational displays can help make classroom routines more visible and reduce the amount of information students need to remember.

When students can see where something belongs, what comes next or where to find the information they need, the classroom environment itself becomes another source of support.

That is particularly important at the beginning of a school year, when students are learning a new room, new routines, new expectations and often a new group of people at the same time.

Back to school teacher resources beyond classroom decor

Alongside printable classroom displays, the collection also includes back to school activities and teacher resources designed to support the transition into a new school year.

These resources can be used to introduce classroom routines, help students learn about their new learning environment, establish expectations and create opportunities for students and teachers to get to know one another.

For teachers searching for first day of school activities, back to school printables, classroom setup resources or beginning of year teacher resources, the collection provides resources that can be used beyond the classroom walls.

Created in collaboration with Philip Bunting

The collection was created in collaboration with Philip Bunting, bestselling Australian children's author and illustrator.

Exclusive illustrations licensed to Gifted and Talented Teacher bring Philip's playful visual language into practical classroom resources designed specifically for teachers and students.

The result is a collection that feels calm, curious and considered — and occasionally wonderfully weird.
