Comparison: School fees

I can understand not wanting to mention crechés (I didn't mention ours.)

Was thinking more along the lines of primary schools/highschools which are much bigger :)

Don't get me wrong, I'm extremely paranoid about my daughter's safety.
Initially didn't think much of mentioning names though ...then you came along and made me paranoid ;)

What area(s) are you thinking of? I can pm you a few that I was interested in.
 
When I went to school in the '80s, my parents paid R525 per year to a government-funded, privately-run school. That was R125/y for the school fees, and R400/y for the boarding fees.
 
I went to a previous model C school in the country side and school fees was about R240 pm for 10 months that's R2400 a year. That would be about R3600 a year now if inflation is taken into account at 6% that is almost similar to picards school.

If I take you 525 a year in 1985 and look at the value now it would be around R2250 a year.

Just saw that the average inflation from 1991 to 2010 is ±7% and the 1980's inflation went really high so I will work with a inflation rate of 8 and the average from when I was on school the inflation rate is 6 so which brings my school fees and your school fees (R3600 present value) inline with what Picards school fees are today. Which makes it seem that the the model C schools fees didn't really change.

Ps: I am assuming Picard teaches at a model C school and you also went to a normal one and not the fancy ones you get these days.

R700 per month for creche. But that will be changing next year.
 
R1360 a month for creche and that is not full day however the creche is brilliant , i am really impressed with the way it is run and the daily feedback you get so worth every cent :)

Just for the hell of it I decided to have a look at today's fees for my old high school - £9500 per term for borders, £6500 for day students - maybe I'm not going to complain too much about the cost of schools here after all.

i'm guessing most thiefs/kidnappers are casing the school rather than mybb. knowing the fees and seeing what you drive. what you say on mybb is hardly going to impact on what happens to your kids.

the security risk is only if the school is not well known generally.

I'm thinking Cape Town Southern suburbs. Shortlist so far are Sacs, Bishops or possibly Rondebosch.

Looking for other options though.

AFAIK:
Bishops fees start at about R2800 p/m without aftercare
SACS - start at about R2200 with aftercare
Rondebosch is about R1800 with aftercare
