A Walk Through Our History

Our Humble Beginnings (1970)

Our focus on improving the lives of teachers and students goes all the way back to our very beginnings. In the 1970s, a chance conversation between the soon-to-be founder of School Merit Solutions and his son's teacher posed the question “Is it possible to create a range of stickers that could be used to assist students with their learning?”. The answer was yes!

That simple conversation led to our very first 'catalogue' - just three simple sticker designs on a single sheet of paper! Taking these designs back to the school, their effectiveness was proven true and it wasn’t long until merit stickers took off Australia-wide.

Australian teachers and students showed us they love stickers! (1970-2000)

Over the next three decades, our collection grew from three stickers to three hundred and School Merit Solutions was officially in business! With positive feedback from teachers and students all across Australia, our team could see the positive impact our stickers were making in classrooms all over, from Western Australia to New South Wales.

Where are we today? (2000-2025)

We’re proud to say that we now offer more than 600 products! Including sports ribbons, badges, pencils, certificates, and of course, our trusty merit stickers! Despite our substantial growth and demand, we’ve maintained our local manufacturing process, with 85% of our products manufactured right here in Australia, supporting local communities while helping children flourish in their education.
