Nothing against homeschooling but if you add in your time it will add up to a heap more than some school fees.



When Seb should start school I would still be at home with other littlies anyway, and I like the idea of it.
Besides it's 10 times the fun of working I don't like people (in general) very much - but I love learning.]]> Tue, 12 Feb 2008 07:58:11 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14332&PID=299968&title=public-school-fees#299968 <![CDATA[Public School fees : busymum wrote: AliaDawn wrote:Woo!...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14332&PID=299965&title=public-school-fees#299965 Author: AliaDawn

WE pay $100 a year for Quinn (yr 1) and Josh (yr 7) each. Josh stationary was $50 but I expected that now that he is in intermediate and Quinn's was just $20 paid to the school and they each get the same pack.

Its not the fees that get me but the school bag, uniform, shoes and the rest not to mention the lost clothes.]]> Sun, 10 Feb 2008 21:23:10 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14332&PID=298884&title=public-school-fees#298884 <![CDATA[Public School fees : Holy that is some expensive fees....]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14332&PID=298764&title=public-school-fees#298764 Author: mummy_becks

Stationary was about $30.00 after getting some specials but had to buy a Maths homework book that cost $13.00
and already had a notice for the first Trip that will cost $10.00

Natasha
Intermediate $100 fee + $20.00 for Photocoping
Stationary was in a pack and cost $30.00
Notice about camp came home asking for $50.00 deposit on the $200.00 cost.

They seem to send home notices nearly every week asking for more money for trips, traveling minstrels, art teachers, crumping clowns grrrrr not to mention fees for sports teams etc. It never stops ]]> Sat, 09 Feb 2008 21:35:23 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14332&PID=298192&title=public-school-fees#298192 <![CDATA[Public School fees : $75 school donation (per term)...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14332&PID=298167&title=public-school-fees#298167 Author: Neeks

We pay $171 for the year if paid in full by end of March (10% discount) otherwise it's $190. Once Cam starts I'll pay $306 for the two of them (that's with the 10% discount). Its a decile 10 school.
For year 2 stationary we just paid $26.

That's without uniform (expensive!), activity fee (only $6.50 this term but have paid up to $20 a term depending on outings), fundraising.......

I pay $288 per year per child. They go to a catholic school which is a public school. I also have to pay activity donations (as they call them) per term for each daughter which is $40 for the both of them.

I really an dreading my daughter going to college next year as that is way more she can reimburise me when she is older and sucessful

How much do you public school mums pay for your fees? when kalem first started school it was $60 last year $80 and this year $100.  The school has just been put up to a decile 10 which is good kinda but they lose alot of there funding from the goverment. I really don't mind paying it was just wondering what others pay.
