Total Annual Costs for ESF Primary Schools

[TheQuasimother]

Hi Mums

I would like to know how much an ESF education actually costs - Early years P1 - 3. The fees are pretty transparent. But what about the added costs?
- Books
- Local Excursions
- Art Materials
- Anything else?

Does the total cost add up to same cost as an international school? Thanks.

Cheers!
QM

Depends on the year. My daughter is in Year 1 (2 next year). PTA is $300 a year. I spent about $1000-1200 on uniforms. The Year 2/3 Stationary list adds up to about $150. And the Year 4/5/6 list is higher, but by looking at it, no more than $250. Music, around $400 (just looking very quickly). No experience with trips, my daughter had one outing this year but was included. It's all quite reasonable.
