Is your school expecting you to pay a full terms fees for 4th term of yr 12?

[smegthehead]

wtf? why would they do that? they'd better not do it to us as we had our last formal day of classes last term

 

[thorrnydevil]

yah huh same at my school..

why would you have to pay full fee.. you're technically only there for 4 weeks of the HSC..

 

[Persephone87]

We dont have to pay fourth term, but they basically added 3k to the year 12 level fees

Fark, Catholic schools are really cheap and good value for money. We pay like $13 000 + at our school, it so isnt worth it. 14 years at one school with annual fees ranging from $9 000 to $13 000.

Somewhere in the order of $150 000. I want a refund, not value for money.

we've literally "left the school" so no...we don't have to pay term 4 fees.

[PookieMonster]

our is like.... for me $13000 or more but im on a 25% scholarship so its more than 13000.

 

[jumb]

Thanks everyone. For some reason my school is trying to charge a terms fee (900 ish) for the whole 8 days im going to be there, even though im not using ANY of their resources.

But knowing that other schools dont gives me confidence in rebutting the fee.

 

[Slidey]

We only ever pay for terms 1, 2 and 3 anyway, but in year 12 we pay about $1,300 per term.

 

[porge]

we have to pay term 4

 

[emmo]

yeah we pay for term 4... bloody ridiculous.. plus i am a boarder and we have to pay for term 4 fees for that aswell... altogether my fee for this year is around $ 30 000.... not worth the money haha

We pay a $100 "text book hire" fee and then, if we want to, we can pay a $45 service contribution. Hehe...public schools are cheap.

Yeah and quite a lot of them do far better than the $30,000 per year private schools.

My friend that goes to ANU (he went to a public school as well), he said he finds that most of the students that drop out of university in the first semester are from private schools. He said they cant handle the social freedom and not only that, they cant handle the academic freedom either.

At university most courses don't have compulsary lectures, which means you dont have to turn up to them. Tutorials are compulsary, but they only go over a few basic things. Universities find that people that don't turn up to lectures are the ones that fail.

I know what school ill be sending my kids to, and its not going to be a private school, even if I earn $1 million a year.
