Melbourne - School Report Question and Answers
Aside from school fees, are there required expenses such as uniforms, laptops/tablets, musical instruments, or field trips that parents are expected to cover? What are the approximate costs?
The cost of uniforms can be a bit much when you first arrive. Possibly $700 per child at least. They rent musical instruments but it is not an enormous fee. The music and arts program constantly has programs and performances which you often have to buy tickets to. But this is because it funds the rented hall. There is a sleepaway camp for each of the years starting Year 4 which you have to pay out of pocket. The school offers private instrument instruction that gets folded into the school day which you need to pay out of pocket for. Laptops are provided to the students at no cost to you. - Sep 2026
The only required uniforms are for Gym. They were priced reasonably. - Jun 2015
