When I dropped Angus of at school this morning I went into the office armed with a stack of paperwork. It was for things like the school fees, text & stationery order form & an update of personal details for the family.
I had a lovely surprise, well not really a surprise but sort of, when I saw the total amount of "credit" in our school account. There was around $1000 in it. I have now used it to pay for next years school fees (around $250 but it might be more because we weren't too sure of one of the charges), for the school planner (its a special diary the kids use) and for the textbook & stationery order. I will still have loads left over that I can use for excursions, camps or whatever else is required at school. With any luck there might even be enough left over to pay for 2012 as well!
Now I suppose some of you may be wondering how on earth can there be so much credit in a school account. You can read about how it happened here & here.
All I can say is that I am so glad I don't have to worry about Angus's school fees for quite a while! There I was thinking that I need to tighten our spending in order to cover things like the textbooks & stationery and its such a relief not needing to do that. I still need to get bits and pieces but I wont order them through the school (well Landmark who is the school supplier) when I can get them cheaper elsewhere. Plus we aren't in a hurry for them anyway.
Now its just Brodie's books & fees I need to concentrate on but since Brodie gets allowances and payments from Centrelink they are pretty much covered too. ALL is GOOD!
It's nice to get good news that all is well every once in a while, isn't it?! Congrats is in order!!
