Oh wow! DH and I were talking about the $8,500 it will cost to send DS1 to boarding school next year being a drain on finances, but that is HUGE!
Yup. However it is a very good school. We both earn decent wages, not rich but not poor either. It's still a while away but we could make this work.

Something that LimeSlice said on here ages ago really resonated with me, about this being the single most important thing that I will give my children. That made me think differently about our options. Not necessarily more expensive but about quality and education values in line with DH and I.

St Michaels is actually slightly more expensive. - https://www.stmichaels.vic.edu.au/we...D2DA795AF540B8
