Private schools are suing parents for not paying their school fees and in some cases expelling students mid-term to staunch a mounting debt.
"But we get these almost litigious people on the other side, and they're in the minority, who just decide they're not going to pay," Dr Newcombe said. "Often they'll say, 'My child was badly treated,' or the results weren't what they expected. 'I'm not paying because she didn't get four Band 6s'." Trinity headmaster Tim Bowden said the school had learnt from the global crisis and council was intent on staying on top of its debts. Trinity, which charges nearly $35,000 for a year 12 student and a further $33,000 for boarders, offered a payment plan to parents who fell behind. If the debt continued to stack up, Mr Bowden asked parents to withdraw their sons from the school.
The drought had prompted schools to offer an unprecedented number of bursaries and hardship waivers to boarding students, he said.
HatAlexander Good! Sue the bitches! They can afford mercs and bmws but they can't afford private schools for their children!
HatAlexander Easy: Nationalise the schools.
HatAlexander The result of hard line lay people taking over from the dedicated religious. Happening all over the religious so called charitable sector. 'Money' and greed.
HatAlexander I'm surprised Scomo hasn't cut Newstart to pay for the poor upper class kids to learn Latin
HatAlexander Damn wanky private schools and parents.
HatAlexander It's like.......the reverse of the banks!!...
HatAlexander They are government funded, what is their bloody problem? A Catholic school in Melbourne received 200 million from Tax Payers & closed its doors.
HatAlexander :) I am thinking of delivering online private tutoring on a global scale harnessing the National Broadband Network. I might call it 'Guru Cool!' private tutoring.
HatAlexander If I knew they didn’t just boot your child out straight away I’d probably pay my fees a bit slower 😂 Strange “story”. Sign a contract to pay someone for a service, you have to pay or incur a debt, right?
