Created by a teacher, for teachers
Meet Mrs Edgar
Teaching is one of the most meaningful jobs there is — full of moments that stay with you for life. It’s also relentless. The workload is heavy, the days are long, and there’s always one more thing to plan, prep or remember.
That’s exactly why Mrs Edgar exists: planners, stationery and teaching tools that lighten the load — not add to it.
The founder
Hi, I’m Jo
I’m the founder of Mrs Edgar — and before this became my world, I spent ten years as an Australian primary school teacher.
I know the hard days and the magic ones. I know how much heart teaching quietly asks of you. During my years in the classroom I started making my own digital resources to save time and bring a bit of colour to the work I loved. But when I went looking for a teacher planner for myself, everything felt so… serious. Functional, sure — but flat. None of it had the warmth or personality I wanted beside me every day.
So I made my own.
From 500 planners to every year selling out
Here’s our story (so far)
The beginning
Where it all began
Mrs Edgar was born out of a passion for beautiful, functional teacher planners. I shared my first digital teacher planner on Teachers Pay Teachers — and the response told me I wasn’t the only one after a planner that could handle the real demands of teaching and still feel joyful to open.
First fans
A community forms
Our very first print run: 500 planners, one cover design. Hew and I cut cardboard from recycled boxes so nothing bent in the post, I wrote every address by hand, and orders left in the bottom of the pram — all in the same year I had our first baby.
Growing up
New covers, new colours
The range expanded with new cover designs and layouts. For the first time, teachers could truly make their planner their own. I officially left teaching (after ten years), and went full-time in our small biz!
Going national
Schools take notice
Bulk school orders started rolling in. Word reached staffrooms from WA to QLD — Mrs Edgar was becoming a staple of the Australian classroom.
Adapting
Your support, still so strong!
Another huge year of growth!
New lines
Beyond the planner
Lanyards, notebooks and stationery joined the family. Mrs Edgar grew from a planner brand into a full teacher lifestyle brand.
Milestones
Working with incredible people!
The love kept coming. We kept expanding...
Expanding
Bigger than ever
The biggest collection yet. More covers, more layouts, more bundles — and a community that kept growing stronger every term.
Innovation
Smarter planning
New features inside the pages, new accessories, and a refreshed look that honoured the brand’s roots while stepping into something new.
Looking forward
A brand that keeps growing
Nearly a decade in and still as passionate as day one. The 2025 collection was our most loved yet — and the best was still to come.
10 years!
A decade of Mrs Edgar
Ten years of beautiful planners, thousands of teachers, and a community built on colour, care and a genuine love of the craft. Here’s to the next ten.
“A planner never pings. It just waits for you — pen in hand, screens away, one quiet week at a time.”
Our tools are here to help you
Organise the many moving parts of teaching
Save time where it matters most
Feel prepared and in control of your day
Bring colour and personality to your routine
Find small moments of joy in busy weeks
Most of all, we want you to feel supported.
The why
Designed to make busy days feel brighter
A planner can’t take away every hard day — but the right one helps you feel calmer, clearer and more in control. It gives your ideas a home, keeps the details in one place, and makes planning feel like something you look forward to.
That’s what we set out to create: practical, reliable, joy-filled tools that work as hard as you do.
Welcome to the community
Today I feel endlessly grateful to make things for educators across Australia and beyond. This community shapes everything we do — your ideas, your feedback and your encouragement keep us finding new ways to make teaching life a little easier.
Whether you’ve been here since planner number one or you’ve just found us, I’m so glad you’re here.
This is a place for planning and productivity. For colour and creativity. For encouragement and inspiration. And most of all — it’s a place for you.
