Speaking of 100mm, always been curious about their events. As nice as the cars there think I was more interested in the food vans... nom, nom, nommm

[Leroy Peterson]

SO your saying they will all catch fire and I'll win by default!

most 100mm attendees are "crews" with fluoro wheels... however this aint no hardpark event. so id think a bunch of edge motorworks 2JZ's and other dyno queens, plus some wannabe drifters in the motorkhana.

inb4 im right.

LOL clearly you haven't looked into the cost of private school...

Private school is a solid $500k per kid now.

$200k will almost get you through Catholic school

not even man exaggerating just a touch maybe at a stretch the elite of elite schools but literally hundreds of options that are way less than that.

Even still comparatively to some eastern suburbs you'd come out ahead anyway.

I was gonna quote but thought I'd leave it and hope everybody ignored it, lold @ the thought of 500k.

You still haven't realised it's pointless trying to talk sense into non westsiders?

[Birds]

I couldn't live in the west simply because of how flat and boring it is. Suburb after suburb of the same kit houses and no real hills to create views / points of interest. Sadly parts of the east are heading that way too with new estates going up and old houses being sold and subdivided to fit as much density as possible. Pat is right about that one.

Unfortunately not dude... There was a study done recently, using projected fee structures and including extra curricular expenses (that are required)

Quote is from SMH as it is the most condensed however the report appeared in all papers (before this somehow turns into a bleeding heart v conservative argument)

A parent whose child is born this year faces half a million dollars in school costs if they choose an independent school in Melbourne from pre-school to year 12.

The projected cost, which is likely to make parents question whether they can afford a private education, is roughly equivalent to the city's median house price.

A public education in Melbourne, while by no means free, is considerably cheaper, costing parents an estimated $65,484 by the end of 2030.

And parents whose children attend Catholic schools in Melbourne for their entire education can expect to pay an estimated $206,692.

The figures, which include fees, extra-curricular activities, clothing, travel and computer costs, have been calculated by the Australian Scholarships Group, based on an education costs survey of 14,000 parents in 2011.

The survey reveals Victoria is the most expensive state in Australia to educate a child in a government school and Melbourne is second only to Sydney when it comes to the cost of a private education in a capital city.

Yeah funny thing is majority of our clients are from east as they are priced out and rather than being 40/50km east they come 20km west.. The stigma is slowly dieing.

although it may be boring as birds points out its affordable, safe, clean and infinitely better value

A lot of assumptions given travel, computer, clothing depending what extra curricular activities etc

And clearly they have to be referring to your scotch level of schools.

you have to make assumptions on that stuff, however those costs are also factored into the state and catholic figures so it's not skewed in that respect.

Most of the private schools are about the same (to within say $5k and not including boarding schools)

The cheaper ones tend to be catholic schools as they are also church funded

[Leroy Peterson]

My Catholic high school was around $5k a year from memory... Excluding books and uniform (which was always second hand).

My sister's went to private on scholarship then went public and had much more subjects to choose from and occassionally better equipment. And public school fees are "optional" as far as I'm aware

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

sounds about right for cathollic
