School supplies and a laptop for Samuel in Townsville
Samuel won a place at the Townsville Selective School but the family can't afford the uniform, books and laptop required.
🇦🇺 Townsville, Queensland, AustraliaPosted Oct 1, 20261,298 views
I earned a place in Form 4 at the Townsville Selective School, and I couldn't be prouder. The school has a long list of things I need, including a laptop for the chemistry course, and a uniform.
My mother works two jobs, and the list costs $800, which is more than we have.
I love chemistry and want to become an engineer. 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.
Items on the list: laptop, uniform, shoes, textbooks, calculator and a bag.
Where the $800 goes:
• Laptop: $420
• School uniform and shoes: $115
• Textbooks and workbooks: $265
Thanks for being kind about this.
