Going Green	01/09/2007
Boomerang Ed produce 1.5 million diaries every year and this adds up to 300 tonnes of paper or over 500 trees! Limiting damage to the environment is one of the key topics covered under the new company values of Creativity, Discovery, Responsibility so Boomerang have created their 2007/2008 Homework Diaries with 100% recycled paper that originated from FSC certified forests. So, what does FSC mean? The Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) are a registered charity working internationally to promote responsible forestry management. 90 million hectares of forest in 82 countries have now been certified by the FSC and thousands of products are produced from the wood and paper sourced in these forests. The paper used is completely recycled, and this is certified by the FSC. There is no bleach used in the pulp and it is produced at a mill that is certified to the ISO 14001 environmental management standard. Using Boomerang Ed Diaries helps to preserve our environment and its resources for today’s children and future generations. FSC certification code: CU-COC-807342

Brand New Designs	01/09/2007
Boomerang Ed’s market leading secondary diaries have had a makeover. The traditional key stage three and four diaries have been completely renewed using a magazine style design that combines full colour photographs and graphics. The fundamental idea behind a homework diary is for students to use them as a planning and work management tool and, in addition, to provide a means of communication between school and home. The new 2007/2008 Boomerang diaries do not deviate from this and the new designs benefit from more clean, white space for writing than ever before and a larger comments box. Boomerang Ed went back to the drawing board with this product after the introduction last year of three core company values: Creativity, Responsibility, Discovery. Using each of these values the diaries have been redesigned to allow students to get more from a tool that they use every day in school. Each page has something to engage a student’s interest, even in areas that might not normally interest them. The diaries are varied and visually stimulating with short, punchy content covering subjects as varied as science fiction, family trees, renewable energy and brain food.
