Their friends from primary school go to those schools, and my kids don’t mind the traveling time. They look forward to going to school because of their buddies.

Our place is a distance from the school. Kid have to get up at 6am to catch school bus. Any suggestion on other transport services getting kids to school?


Getting up at 6am is quite normal for schoolkids, I'm afraid. In fact, some buses pick up at 6am, so the kids would have had to get up even earlier. Options would include changing school, sleeping earlier at night or car pooling (if it's faster to drive there).

a friend of mine stays far from the school. her girls have to wake up at 530am for the bus to pick them at 545am. she doesn't plan to move because her flat has been fully paid up.

Hi can I know how much to set a side per year for child's primary and secondary school? Including expenses like tuition, overseas trip, eca etc?


not all kids require tuition.
cca in general is FOC. overseas trips are not compulsory.
school textbooks and uniforms can cost about $200.

To add on: School fees in most Pr and sec schools are not high. But if your child is in an independent school (only at sec levels), then the fees can be as high as $300+ a month.
CCA may incur fees if there is an external coach, travelling, uniforms etc.
As you can see, there is not straightforward answer. The minimum could be a few tens of dollars a month at Pr levels, and could escalate to over a thousand depending on what your child decides to get involved in.
