Starting 6th form and need help with stationery and other items

In September I am starting 6th form, where I’ll be taking biology, chemistry and psychology. I did some research and decided to buy a messenger bag, but for heavier days (e.g. if I have to take in my laptop), I’ll use a bag that my brother gave me.

I have mostly prepared in terms of stationery and I have an iPad which I’ll use for digital textbooks to save space.
I have a pencil case with pens, highlighters, ruler, glue stick, mini stapler etc, a water bottle, a lunch bag, a power bank and a day folder. I have a stock of pukka pads, but what else might I need day to day - for my lessons, or something like plasters?

Dont overcomplicate or stress yourself over this much. For 6th form I did quite decent and all I had was pen, calculator and paper. Only brought laptop for days I needed it (50% of time).
Other things that your schools asks like red pen etc ofc get those but unless you live very far I dont think you need to stress this much. (I lived like 40mins from school)

You’re already really well-prepared. You might also want some sticky notes, plasters, hand sanitiser, spare earbuds, and a small snack for everyday use. Your bag setup with the iPad and stationery sounds perfect for lighter and heavier days. What’s your favourite thing to carry with you to make the day easier?
