Cooper earned a place in Year 10 at Geelong Science Academy, and the family couldn't be prouder. The school has a long list of things He needs, including a laptop for the design and technology course, and a uniform. The family has few resources; the list costs $850, which is more than they have. Cooper loves design and technology and wants to become an engineer. A laptop will allow coursework at home instead of waiting for library hours. He will take care of everything given and works very hard. I'll buy the items from the school's approved supplier and post photos of everything. Where the $850 goes: • Laptop: $460 • Calculator, stationery and a school bag: $95 • Textbooks and workbooks: $295 I hope life is good to you. - Craig
