Tracy Posted October 2, 2007 Report Share Posted October 2, 2007 Hi,I'm teaching at a Catholic school in Alice, and I get a small rebate on my daughter's fees. Not much, but it does help. Having her with me helps in more ways because I know where she is, who she's with, and transport is far easier.Tracy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dax Posted October 2, 2007 Report Share Posted October 2, 2007 (edited) In the State System this will not be a hard-and-fast rule and every state school will have a diffrent ruling here.However, state school fees (which in reality is not enforcible) are much smaller in comparison to private school fees.Parents in the state system mostly pay the fees partly out of civic responsibility and partly because they can see and track where their contributed dollars went.Dax Edited October 2, 2007 by Dax Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Annette Posted October 23, 2007 Report Share Posted October 23, 2007 (edited) I'm not a teacher, but I do work at a private boys' school and I can get 50% off school fees. I still prefer our local state school though... couldn't be more pleased with it! Edited October 23, 2007 by Annette Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terbo Posted October 23, 2007 Report Share Posted October 23, 2007 Hi AnetteI will be taking up a teaching post in Townsville in the new year at a private school and have been told I will get a 40% reduction in fees for my daughter when she eventually starts there. I think Tracy is right when she says it is a blessing in terms of convenience but also you are actively involved in your childs education and can be alerted immediately to any problems they may be having etc.Hope this helpsDave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rodz Posted October 24, 2007 Report Share Posted October 24, 2007 Cool. Drove past it on Sunday. Nothing much. Walking on the beach front or "Strand" as they call it is wonderful. These people walk all hrs of the day here. I think you will love this place. Went up Castles Hill. The view from on top is breathtaking!! You will tell me again once you check it out for yourself!!
