really? what are your fees?Originally posted by timace
No westies, cos they can't afford to go to a Catholic school
It depends on personal preference.. 15 grand is a steep price - try telling that to boarders who have to pay $25000+. I don't feel that the fees have gone to waste. I prefer the standards and discliplinary systems of a private School. I have friends who left cos they hate private schools. There are people who have spent their entire 13 years of school life at a private school. In the end the reputation of the school really opens doors, so it kind of pays for itself.Originally posted by timace
If you ask me $15 grand a year on schooling is an investment that could have been spent wisely elsewhere... that's $90 000 over the course of high school. Plus other costs.
i think what dazza meant was that at private schools you meet people with similar job prospects and aspirations, who hopefully you can call on when you start your career ... or you meet people who have rich or influencial parents or connections that might assist you in later life ... thats my opinion thoughOriginally posted by Ultimate
I don't necessarily agree with you dazza. How does the school's reputation open up doors? Everyone goes to school and finishes the HSC simply to get a ticket to university.
In effect everyone enters Uni on a level playing field. It's the universities reputation that counts, because from this you get a job.
What I don't understand is why people who attend private schools also have tutors for individual subjects? This only adds to the ridiculous cost for private school fees
Isn't it more economical to go to a public school and get private tutors for each subject. I think that you would do just as well.
btw, I did go to a private school at Knox for 3 years, and found there was nothing special about it at all
Anyway they're my thoughts.
You'd be surprisedHow does the school's reputation open up doors?
in terms of school reputation, doesn't James Ruse open the biggest doorOriginally posted by dazza
