School fee's
 
Hi,
Can anyone advise me whether we have to pay school fee's if we emigrate or is it only for private education ?......we have 4 children and this could ruin us financially if it cost's shed loads........may have to sell a couple of the children....(individually or you could buy them as a job lot !!!!)

Ali :eek:

Hi
I've just put my 6yr old into State school. I have had to pay $100 for her "book pack" which is all she will need for the next school year - books pencils etc. We will be expected to pay towards art/ict/school fund as well (about$90). The uniforms aren't cheap. Im used to going to asda but it has to be bought from the school uniform shop(they do sell 2nd hand) as an idea my daughters dress cost $45 school hat$20 shorts/top for pe $40.
Hope this helps.

Well, it was and more than likely will be Perth but now, for some bizarre and unexplainable reason , 'ER INDOORS' say's, let's look at Brisbane. Now, don't get me wrong, i love Brisbane but after weeks of deliberating and researching she decides Perth (i have been to both for long periods of time).....
WOmen.....just can't understand them....bless her (maybe it's me though!!!!!)
