Breda
I earned a place in Year 11 at the Breda Selective School, and I couldn't be prouder. The school has a long list of things I need, including a laptop for the graphic design course, and a uniform. My mother works two jobs, and the list costs $850, which is more than we have. I love graphic design and want to become a software developer. A laptop will let me do coursework at home instead of waiting for library hours. I'll take care of everything you give me and I promise to work hard. I'll buy the items from the school's approved supplier and post photos of everything. Where the $850 goes: • Laptop: $650 • Calculator, stationery and a school bag: $90 • School uniform and shoes: $110 If you're reading this, thank you.

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

      • Safiatou GueyeOwnerAnswer

        Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. laptop comes first ($650) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Happy to explain more.

        you're not alone, Safiatou. This could happen to any of us. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
