When you choose to partner with 4schools you can be confident that you have everything covered. You will receive a high-quality, competitively priced, durable journal created in partnership with a dedicated account manager and, of course, delivered on time.
The 4schools journal goes far beyond the elements mentioned above. With over 25 years’ experience working with schools and students to ensure we innovatively adapt and improve our journals, you are not just providing your students with a journal to record their homework, you will be guiding and supporting them in reflecting on and managing their learning, while at the same time promoting daily a culture of learning and wellbeing within your school.
‘Cultural Awareness’ is the theme for the 2023-24 journal. This theme is explored through the journal covers and throughout the core. Find out more…

"Being a new school, I thought organising the journal would be a big job and might take a large chunk of time over the summer holidays, but I was surprised how easy and incredibly smooth the process was and the journals arrived bang on time. We were very happy with them."

"Design process is intuitive and professional. The journals are durable and visually attractive, while the generic content is both relevant and useful to students."

New Cultural Awareness Theme for 2023/24
This year, we are excited to introduce you to our new journal theme of ‘Cultural Awareness’. Given the growing number of cultures in Ireland, this theme has never been more relevant for school communities.
We were delighted to team up with Melanie Martin and Leah O’ Shaughnessy, teachers at Tallaght Community College and co-authors of the book Resilience and Me, to develop our cultural awareness themed journal for secondary schools.
Leah and Melanie have drawn on their own experience to create 13 student-centered activities that support your students in understanding their own culture and the cultures of others and what it means to be culturally aware.
