Pembroke might be in a rich area but it's not exactly the cream of the crop. Nice school though.

I beg to differ!

Pretty sure it surpassed Scotch as the most expensive co-ed school in the state a few years back. Pembroke ain't cheap.

Serious? Damn. I wouldn't have picked that!

Pembroke is the 2nd most expensive school in South Australia only cheaper than Scotch College. It is a few thousand/year more expensive than St Peter's and PAC, etc.

EDIT: May be more expensive than Scotch now, not sure.

So basically I got that completely wrong then My mistake!

 

[Jcpdragonx]

Are you serious? You don't choose Pembroke if you are well off!!!

Isn't the school 15k a year there? Or am I thinking of something else?

Them's fightin' words right there.

In terms of level of fees, academic / sporting/ artistic achievement, it's absolutely cream of the crop.

Correct.

DJ75 is a saints person showing some Pembroke envy I think

Interesting.

The Advertiser recently listed Pulteney Grammar as the dearest in SA with fees per student of $24,000 p.a. I know that figure to be correct due to family members attending there. It's definitely also dearer than St Peter's and PAC.

I have no idea whether the part that it is the dearest college in the state is correct or not though.

Are the fees at Pembroke and Scotch College higher than what I've quoted there for Pulteney?

PRetty sure Pultney is the highest. In any case you ahve to be rich or sacrificing a lot to send you kids to any of those schools. I chose the Catholic system based on cost.

Ahhh, I forgot Pulteney. No, you're right.

You forgot the 3rd alternative there Jars, which is the one they have appear to have chosen.

Go into debt!!! Increase the mortgage.

Get a scholarship. A football scholarship?

Lol - I have 3 at Pembroke, it's a crippling sacrifice that's for sure.

 

[macca23]

I can't see the 8 year old girl getting one of those.

 

[Mattrox]

Rowing or netball?

 

[Draft Bored]

Laird went to Scotch. As did I. My parents busted their asses to send me there.

No idea where is the most expensive these days but as a percentage difference they are all very similar. All f'ing pricey.

 

[jenny61_99]

I've got one at BBC - and I simply cannot fathom how some have multiples at these schools.

 

[DJ75]

Correct.

DJ75 is a saints person showing some Pembroke envy I think

Point is that if you are caused up - you don't select Pembroke.
It is a good school and gets good academic results (mainly thanks to their girls results).
I'm not really sure what anyone from Saints would have to be envious at Pembroke for? Football? hahahahahahah

 

[DJ75]

On Pultney - that can't be right surely? It is a very very average school. Average in everything they provide. How can it possibly be the most expensive?
I always thought Scotch was most expensive (and I'm amazed people send their kids there given cost for what you actually get)

Spoken like a true Saints kid

Anyway - moving on

 

[radiojake]

I am fairly certain that my education at Salisbury East High School was far more economically efficient than anything these flash schools could dish up
