Does anyone have any information on bursaries? Can you get help outside the school, or is there only the ones the school has on their websites available?

We'll be able to get the isolated assistance from centrelink & with me working I might be able to afford the rest, but it'll be near impossible once the other kids start high school & the fees start over lapping.

I'm pretty sure I'll be sending DD2 to the local high school for a year or 2 first. I really don't think she'll cope being away full time like DD1. But it doesn't have a very good reputation. I am happy for DD1 to go from year 8. She copes well with life, DD2 just doesn't.
