"Always look upon every thing with doubt"
Hi I was just wondering , what are your public school fees ?
Not including uniform , books , excursions etc. Just the fee you pay to attend that school.

Thanks

Are subject fees included?

If not my DD's high school has an optional $55.00 fee. And it is very much optional. Not the compulsory-optional that some schools like to have.

All up including subject fees, excursion, sports fees (includes travel to and from carnivals and entrance into venues) and the optional $55.00 fee, we have paid $185.00 for the year.

Great value IMO.

ETA: This also includes her photocopying/printing account - instead of DD paying each time she wants to photocopy something in the library or print out something from internet or her assignment when our printer was broken, she has a little card that is loaded up each year and can be topped up along the way.

$50 for one child.
$70 for 2 or more.

I have heard grumbles from people who are paying only $20 less than some families that had 3 or more kids at the same school. Some even refuse to pay because of it.

It is $50, less than $1 a week. So no skin off our nose, and DD8yrs has been doing well.

DD13's will end up being about $200(give or take a little), but I don't have a problem with that either. That is for all subject fees.
