We got the book list for DD to start grade 1 next year, and I'm wondering what everyone else pays? Especially those in Qld.

I didn't realise that grade 1's needed text books, but then it's been awhile since I was in grade 1.

Total cost for books and supplies for next year = $139.80 :shock:
On top of this we need to add little things like a pencil case, 2 boxes of tissues, "official school library bag", old shirt for art and " any items to be used at home need to be purchased separate from the school list"

One good thing is the school has just started a layby system for the books, so that helps a lot, would be good if they started it a tiny bit earlier. But, at least we have been given the opportunity!
