We're actually very close to Newman so it was a convenience thing as well as the fact that I like what the school seems to represent, as well as very much liking the lower fees!!

Otherwise I'm surrounded by the biggies with the big fees. I know education is very important but I just can't justify the $10K St Hilda's, Perth College and St Mary's are asking for kindergarten!! and then each of the primary school years. We're 200 metres from Wembley Primary which is supposed to a very good primary school, so its really hard to turn our backs on that and pay $140,000 minimum for their primary school education (and this is when you tell me that Wembley is a cr*p school and burst my little bubble isn't it )

Maybe I need to get DH to agree to move to the Swan Valley so we can go to St Bridget's and still be able to pay the mortgage???
