I've got it all coming with the high school my son is going to be attending from Jan. Only allowed to wear the school gear, right down to the socks. One pair of socks are 7 bux, the hat is 70 bux

$70 for a kids hat?? If he loses it you're allowed to beat him, no judge would convict

Even the socks? That's a bit much ... and $70 for a hat

We seem to be a bit more realistic out here, it'll probably ramp up once the kid hits high school though ... next thing to shell out on is girl guide camp, all good fun building tomorrow's citizens innit?

When my daughter went to Somerville it was the same, had to have the right socks, winter dress hat, summer dress hat, play hat, summer uniform, winter uniform, blazer (once they hit grade 4), very expensive little exercise. And then there are all the uniforms for different musical ensembles and sporting activities, school swimmers, swim caps, sports bag, swim bag, school bag, chair bag, homework bag, library bag. The joy of private schooling - the uniform shop makes a killing.

Can I disagree that's it's cold?

I have to keep up this northern male pom image for a little while at least.

Though no one knows I'm wearing a vest.....

Indeed. I thought they had made a mistake with the price of the hat, but no.

No uniforms at the schools my kids have been too in the past or go too now.

Brunswick South Primary
Fitzroy Secondary
Coburg High.... years 9-12.

There are quite a few around here with No uniform.
