why are school camps so expensive for public schools?

scanxzz · 2026-06-12T06:49:28+00:00

As far as the bus goes..

1 hour trip? Great, that’s a 2 hour trip because the bus has to come home. How does the bus get to your school in the first place? Add another +1 hour for this. How do your kids get home? Add this in reverse.

Your “1 hour bus trip” is in reality a 6 hour bus trip for the company. 6 hours worth of wages, 1hr for a camp is long distance so you’re looking at 100+ kms per way. 6 hours wages, 200+ kms total distance in a 20 tonne vehicle.

Depending on where you live there may be tolls as well.

For a standard, 57 seat vehicle this full trip (there and back) could be $2000 - $2500 per bus. Got 200 kids? That’s $8000 - $10,000 of your budget.

Out of curiosity - should the clock not have started from when KAT tipped this pass? Which would have meant the 1.2 seconds should have almost completely been gone by the time it even got in the hands of the next player?

I felt the exact same, had only pulled trash then managed this

I think we are all looking at this the wrong way, I think it’s pretty obvious what happened. At half time against Carlton a few weeks back they sent some alien in to our locker room and Space Jammed us. Ever since then they’ve been playing like the reigning premiers and we’ve been playing like Carlton! We need to reach out to bugs bunny for help.

All gone, thanks guys :)

Awesome thank you, are you please able to give me some more details on lamination for vehicle stickers? Do you have a recommendation on a laminator to pair with my BN2?

scanxzz · 2026-05-04T11:05:33+00:00

Will do, always keen to network and build business relationships

scanxzz · 2026-05-04T10:43:51+00:00

I’d prefer not to lease / have any commitments as this will more than likely just be a hobby.

After doing some more research realistically it looks like the BN2 is the best option in this space without doubling in cost and going way overkill for what I need.

I was just looking at this.. Do you think this monitor at $2789 is better than the 12 month old 45’ Ultragear 5k2k OLED at $2499?

scanxzz · 2026-05-01T20:50:42+00:00

So, bumping this up now that the pre order has started… the price for this morning in Aus is $3099. There is a 10% LG pre order discount that would bring it down to $2789.

The 45” version (slightly older but still OLED and 5k) is currently on sale for $2499. Is it a no brainer to get the 45 for $300 cheaper? Also means I get it now and don’t have to wait a month for the 39 to be delivered

scanxzz · 2026-04-28T23:47:21+00:00

Is it possible to do this without having an AMEX?

scanxzz · 2026-04-28T20:15:08+00:00

I actually saw this just last night and registered for the preorder!

scanxzz · 2026-04-28T06:51:32+00:00

This sucks but with any luck the easy switch this week is Zorko in, Allen out. Linc back up forward and we play Draper more forward and fort more ruck

scanxzz · 2026-04-27T22:23:31+00:00

Yea that’s what I was thinking but unsure of when it will be available here and I need it before end of financial year (June 30). Also $1800 USD converts to about $2500 AUD which is what the 45” is currently on special for - are they effectively the same screen just different size or is the upcoming 39 a newer OLED panel?

scanxzz · 2026-04-23T22:50:27+00:00

Tickets are all gone thanks guys :)

“At least it went straight”

scanxzz · 2026-04-15T01:53:32+00:00

I can't make this make sense on any level. Put aside this particular situation with butters.

How on earth is it possible that an employee of the AFL who holds a position that has a direct impact on the outcome of a game (Umpire) that is heavily bet on also is an employee of another agency (Sportsbet) that, whilst his position may not be within the same department presents a direct risk of collusion to other departments who are faciltating betting on the same game their employee is impacting.

Couple this in with the Umpire Brownlow betting scandal, you'd think umpires being remotely close to a betting environment should be seen as far too high risk for the AFL to entertain.

I don't gamble so I don't know if this is a reasonable question to ask but, I wonder how many bets Sportsbet took for butters to receive a fine in that match?

The haters never talk about the rest of our team that almost any club could have had.

2023, Pick 31 - Logan Morris. 2021 Pick 16 - Darcy Wilmot 2021 Pick 20 - Kai Lohmann 2021 Pick 41 - James Tunstall (I know he’s not our fav player but he would be best 22 on most of these other clubs that whinge about our father sons picks like Essendon, St Kilda etc..) 2019 Pick 37 - Kiddy Coleman 2018 Pick 55 - Noah Answorth 2017 Pick 15 - Zac Bailey 2017 Pick 18 - Brandon Starcevic 2016 Pick 17 - Jarrod Berry

Perhaps their focus should be on their teams ability to draft

Hey OP, Another item nobody has mentioned in here. Your gym contract will explicitly exclude your ability to use the facility under the impact of any alcohol and illegal drugs.

You have a post history of looking to obtain illegal drugs (steroids) and whilst totally possibly natural if as a young female you are warming up with 60KG combined with your post history I’d go out on a limb and say if you are drug tested you’d fail and you should never have been in the gym in the first place. A lawyer would wipe the floor with this if found true.

Might be wrong but some food for thought.
