      There’s no good option for it : either the parents pay for the uniform and it’s a tax fir the poors, or the government pay for it and the money would be far better spent on teachers and stuff.

      Ridiculously expensive? I’m in Australia too, how much do you think they cost?

        Primary is affordable cause you just go into bigw

        Secondary, the blazer alone is like $400 and there’s only one store where you can get it. Eventually he’ll lose it and we’ll have a big discussion about money.

            Mate, welcome to port Melbourne college. I may be off with the exact number on the blazer but a basic set of uniform with 3 shirts, pants an single blazer was close to 1k . Nitpick as much as you want but I have the receipts and they are hurtful.

            Add to that a laptop, because port Melbourne primary used iPad but nooo, not enough for college.
