Bacolod
Gemma earned a place in the first year of senior school at the Bacolod Selective School, and the family couldn't be prouder. The school has a long list of things She needs, including a laptop for the mathematics course, and a uniform. The family has few resources; the list costs $155, which is more than they have. Gemma loves mathematics and wants to become a teacher. A laptop will allow coursework at home instead of waiting for library hours. She will take care of everything given and works very hard. Items on the list: laptop, uniform, shoes, textbooks, calculator and a bag. Where the $155 goes: • Laptop: $105 • School uniform and shoes: $25 • Textbooks and workbooks: $20 • Calculator, stationery and a school bag: $5 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

    Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Gemma!

      Laptop is $105 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Thanks for asking.
