The school my kids went to last year was $A45/child....that covered any text books and all books required to write thier work in, all school based activities,

You had to supply: Uniforms..were not complusary but preferred, they varied in price obviously
Pencils/Pens :as required through the term
Outside school activities: generally you had to pay bus fare around $3.00-5.00/ event

The school my boys currently go to is different with regards to text books....you get given a requirement list (for the year) cost for both boys for this year was around $A300...then we replace items, eg: pencils...pens etc throughout the year
School based and Outside school activities is the same as previous school

The above is a public school

Private schools fees are higher...approximately $2,000/term...some more some less
