Is this excessive?

Answered 4 years ago

I live in an inner Brisbane suburb and my year 2 sons school fees are $350 per year, this is a public school and doesn’t include the school list supplies we purchase separately. I feel conpared to other schools it’s very high. The school list also includes a kids map book of $50!! I can’t even use the same as last years because it seems an ‘updated version’ 😥

Wow that's huge. We live in Perth and our dd is in yr 9. Her fees are about $290 and that includes languages, cooking, manual arts, media etc. I've learnt to cut back on the booklist as I think 10 staebler pencils for example is ridiculous. I'll buy 5 and if she needs more I'll get it as we go along. Uniforms are a killer as they have a select few items we can choose from. If you are on a benefit I'm pretty certain there are subsidies. Be sure to check with the school. Regardless of that $350 is outrageous. I'd want to talk to the school about that. Good luck x

I’m in Perth. Primary public was $120 voluntary. Public high school $285. They didn’t include booklists and uniforms. And there were a few excursions/ incursions through the year that would cost around $20 each.
