Well, I think Lindsays school comes in cheapest LOL! The 'voluntary' contribution is only $35 per year and you get $5 off if you pay in first term. He will attend the local public school where DH went. His uniform and odds and ends has cost around $250. Excursions are extra, but at his school they don't go on excursions until year 2. Lindsay will only have 17 in his class (but two kindy classes). DH went to Kinross Wolaroi school as a boarder for yrs 7-10 and the IL's paid around $15,000 a year. That's not including all the excursions they could go on during holidays!
