Update January 2009
VIC: Geelong Grammar in Victoria, fees for year 12 in 2009 will be about $29,000.
WA: Christ Church Grammar. $17,560 for 2009
SA: Prince Alfred College. $15,117 for 2009
QLD: Brisbane Girls Grammar. $14,980 for 2009
I am glad the average one is only about half of that QLD figure

Our own School fees, for a middle cost range school:
In 2006, when the average was $5,910 (for QLD), we paid $3,298. (year 5)
In 2007 we paid $3,488 (year 6)
In 2008 we paid $6,911 (year 7 - 1st year of high school)
In 2009 fees are going up by 6%, so we expect about $7,350
Private school funding figures recently made available for 2006, show:
Queensland Independent schools received an average of $5,910 per student from parents.
Queensland school funding from Governments was:
$ 6,734 Independent schools: (73% Federal Government and 27% Queensland Government)
$11,043 State Schools
When looking at Independent schools, after adding the Parents fees to the government funding, the Independent schools have an average of $12,644 per student, only $1,601 or 14% more than a State school student has available.
