As we kick off 2026, everyone at SLS Select Education would like to wish you a very Happy New Year. We hope you had a chance to enjoy a well-earned break over the holidays and return feeling rested, refreshed, and ready for the term ahead.
Before Christmas, we asked you to share your New Year’s resolutions for 2026 in the prep room, and you didn’t disappoint!
Here are your Top 10:
Keep the prep room tidy and be more organised
Reorganise storage and create more space in the chemical store
Finish labelling all the Gratnell trays with clear, typed labels
Make sure the chemical store ventilation is tested and working properly
Keep better records of broken glassware to show its impact on the budget
Avoid “last-minute.com” practicals
Add a new STEM section to available resources
Bring more creativity into science practicals
Celebrate sustainability days more actively
Get teachers to stop calling safety specs “goggles”
Your resolutions are an insightful reminder of just how much goes on behind the scenes in the prep room!
That’s why we’re here to support you every step of the way. Throughout the year, we’ll be sharing new product launches, trusted supplier updates, and practical solutions designed to make life in the prep room that little bit easier.
Thank you for all that you do to support science education, and here’s to a successful year ahead!
