(Cross-posted in 'managing money' as I was unsure where to post this).
Hi, DS' FYOS will be 2013. I'm looking at enroling him at our local catholic PS & as a single parent on PPS, I'll be initially unable to pay full fees. I'm interested to hear from anyone who has had their fees waived due to financial hardship? The little bit of research I've so far undertaken indicates that the diocese accepts a certain number of non-fee paying students/families. I'll be contacting the school's Principal this week but curious in the meantime. Thanks. |

QUOTE (**myboys** @ 23/04/2012, 02:27 PM)  Why take on a student on reduce fee's for the next 7 years. They will have to make the money up somewhere. Possibly by putting fees up for the rest of the paying students. QUOTE (casime @ 23/04/2012, 02:32 PM) So you're not catholic, have made no contribution to the church or their community, but expect them to waive fees for your child? If your ex husband wants them in a catholic school, he should pay for it. Agreed. |
