School stationery rip-offs

Margaret from Papatoetoe

My son's primary school refuses to give me a stationery list and insists that I must buy the stationery pack from a particular store. This means I cannot reuse any unused stationery he has from previous years and that I'm forced to spend more money than I need to.

Are schools legally allowed to force you to buy from a particular store? Shouldn't it be my right as a consumer to be able to shop around for the best deal? Is anyone else facing this same situation?
