What the fuck kind of state school announces, during a lockdown, that school camp is going ahead, at a cost of $1300, with the deposit (which is more than a JobSeeker payment) due in 11 days? WHAT KIND OF STATE SCHOOL?!

Sorry just to emphasise - this isn't me this is a friend of mine. Tempted to run a gofundme for the fees, but honestly I want to the school to be held accountable first.

In the letter telling parents about the trip, there is a note about cancellation policy. If cancelled less than 30 days before, it's 100% of the cost. Everything. There is not a single word about what happens if we get locked down or borders are closed. NOT ONE WORD.

A fwitted one with a fwitted office manager - the over manicured sort that send out flurries of letters identifying outstanding amounts of $1.50 for after school care 🙄

Yep. Families can apply for help, which is $200 odd... if they get it. Still leaves $1100 to fund by July 30. When you're on JobSeeker... that ain't gonna happen.

I have so much trauma around school camp, if I had a kid, I wouldn't wanna pay that to give them the trauma I have!!!

The one my kids used to go to in Clifton Hill where they thought every parent was a millionaire...and that was 10 years ago (and the actual school where swine flu kicked off in Aus)
