Doubt she would be expected to write notes in the rain. The paper will be ruined. Get her a poncho for the walk to the station.

Not paper....iPads. And yes they had to use them in the rain, I did say the school was stupid.

Thanks for recommendations. I appreciate it but can’t afford those places.

Kmart online is showing ladies plain black ones for $15, depending on how old your child is they might be able to get away with this (my daughter is 10 and def could) a bit long might be good, (longer and drier) otherwise there’s spotted kids one for $17.

And also, yes my kids school is stupid too, they wait for the cold weather to do swimming when the kids are on the edge of getting sick, half the kids are absent by the time it’s over😒😒😒
Maybe that’s their plan🤣🤣

It was too late notice to order on line. I saw the adult ones but my kid is a tiny 11 year old so was way too big. Thanks.

Seriously, no raincoats. I even looked in places like Ally and Valley Girl, even the Reject Shop. I got one at Kmart last year but none in the two Kmart stores I went to today. Our school is a tight arse school. Even swim lessons are booked in winter. And school photos too so my girls hair is always a mess!

Why would your kids hair be a mess in winter?
We live in qld and my kids have curly hair lol. I’d love winter photos

Winter = wind = hair blowing around = mess. Not hard to work out.

Where the fuck is their camp to? Disneyland? You’d be better off spending that money on a family vacation for a week.

Its in Canberra and we are in WA so thats buses, flights, accommodation, snow gear hire and entry fees and all that stuff. It sounds like a great camp but it needs to have a full years worth of fundraising to bring the costs down not one term.

I’m in W A and my nieces went on a camp to Canberra. They go to private school. I could not afford that for my kids either. My public school starts fundraising in the middle of term one for a term 3 camp. I think that’s too late to start. I’ve also asked why they don’t start fundraising in year 5 but the principal never agrees.

I’m in WA as well. My girl will go to Canberra but our cost is 1400! Not sure where that amount comes from. It also includes everything!

They may have gotten grants that brought the overall costs down and then parents are left with the difference. That's why I don't understand why this school doesn't do that.

Not the ones I went to, but Thankyou.

Thanks, yes tried those and sales assistants said they no longer have them in stock. Silly really as winter has just started. Too late for me to order online but Thankyou for your suggestions.
