Boarding is about $300/mth if I’m not wrong

Is there no more government subsidies for year 5 boarding? Without subsidy, and with no EESIS or ESIP scholarship, it costs $320+$700 per mth for year 5. That is a huge sum. Is there still compulsory boarding for year 5, or is it optional?

Next year Year 5 is still compulsory. But was told will utilise some of school funds/donations. Probably after that not compulsory anymore. Even with EESIS, it's still a big sum if you have 2 kids going boarding. It's like having another car

Two? Twins in Y5?

While $300 is not a small sum, look at it as the price to pay for Life Skill enrichment. Also, there should be some savings in utilities and food since the child will not be home most of the time.

Life skill enrichment ? Not neccessary only to boarding, I have many \"life skill enrichment practicals\" at home too. Mine include dish to laundry washing, laundry hanging and folding, vacuum cleaning & floor mopping, toilet cleaning, bedsheet changing, cooking, car washing, etc ... Full training provided and it's all free of charge. :evil: My boys are already \"fully-equipped\", now they will ask \"What's my housework duty today ?\" :rotflmao:

They prefer to stay at home if it's not compulsory. 还是自己的狗窝好。

My house only has 3 bedrooms, the boys take up 1 each.

Mine, too, realised how \"spoilt\" they were after our domestic helper left. Now they know what is \"hard work\", they say \"study better\"
