Cost of going to a state school in Melbourne - The Age article
https://www.theage.com.au/national/v...28-p4zc83.html
While parents at the poorest state schools forked out an average of $408 for each child every year, those at the most advantaged state schools stumped up $1430, according to research by Deakin and Murdoch universities.
Uniforms, books, this and that, it all adds up. Thank goodness those days are over.

Only a small part of the overall cost of raising a child of course. No wonder so many are deferring having children these days and more never do.

Wow! Are you sure it isn't a private school? I think all us expats get a shock when the state school wants a significant pile of pennies off us. You didn't list the Building Fund - did you pass on that one?
