Schools & Fees
Hi All
I have been looking at what I think are public (Govt funded) schools and see that some are commanding extortionate fees, is this correct or are these private schools?
I know for local schools that donations are paid but this is no where near the amounts that I am seeing.
Kind regards

Re: Schools & Fees
it was Royal Oaks Primary School in Epsom. The cost for an international student (which is I think what my daughter will be) is NZD 12,000

Re: Schools & Fees
What makes you think your daughter will be an international student? Sounds unlikely to me if yopu are living in NZ.

Hi Soozi
I think it was just a terminology issue on my part, for me, Domestic refers to local born students whereas International would be a foreign born child.
Fully understand the issue now, my daughter will be a Domestic student, phew, panic over.
Regards

It does all depend on their visa's. What visa does your child have.?
