Any extra payment apart from school fee?

henryesther

My daughter has just been accepted and I want to know what is the amount of extra payments apart from the $5000 school fee per month?  

We like this school but the school fee is very expensive, so we really have to consider other fee as well.  How much does the extra activities cost. How much do you usually spend each month?  Thanks

For your ref. only:
Per month~
Lunch   $3xx
School Bus (depend on which district you live)
Per year~
Books   around $1,200
Instrument Lesson Fee  $3,960
School material & outing travelling fee around $1,000 (this is the amount for 1st term, I don't know the amount for 2nd term)

Is the amount all counted for the 1st term only?  Instrument lesson fee?  Do we have to buy instrutment? Has the school fee including ECA too?  If not how much would it usually cost?  

Sorry for so many questions.

以下兩項都係全年費用:
Books   around $1,200
Instrument Lesson Fee  $3,960
以下費用係1st term only, 2nd term未收, 所以唔知係咪一樣:
School material & outing travelling fee around $1,000 (this is the amount for 1st term, I don't know the amount for 2nd term)

ECA費用另計, 應該都係幾百蚊一個term左右, 視乎參加邊項! 但ECA係option, 我小朋友冇join!

樂器要自己購買, 費用亦視乎選擇乜o野樂器!

Thank you so much for your sharing.    We are still considering this school as cost is a main concern (because we have 2 kids!!)

Eh-oh

1) Is every student compulsory to learn an Instrument?
2) The students have a chance to have a trip every year.  Is it very expensive? Where they go in past year?
Pls share! Many thanks!

I'd say almost every student learns instrument, but still have some exceptions.

2) The students have a chance to have a trip every year.  Is it very expensive? Where they go in past year?
Pls share! Many thanks!

Overseas trips start from Yr 4, past visiting areas include Beijing, Xian, Taiwan, Singapore, and England.  I'd say the pricing is reasonable.  The England trip lasted about two weeks, costs around HKD15K-HKD20K (I can't remember correctly), and the rest costs a few thousands.

Eh-oh

Thank you again!
So, can you suggest the around total fee and expenses for each month? I think around $5500(standard fee) + $1000(extra). Is that right? Tks!

因為很多雜費會於學期初時收取，就這樣演繹吧，學費繳交共11期，再連同其它雜費，一年約交共14期學費。

So, total fee for a year around $5500 x 14 = $77,000
Is that right?
A little bit high expenses...

今年小學學費是$4,600，今年九月的學費好像加到$5,000。中學學費會貴些，忘了多少錢。

The actual total school fee for 2009-10 is HK$5000x 11 = HK$55,000 .
