Q&A

Annie W

How are you feeling about the new school year?

I feel indifferent to the new school year.

I was invited to a transition meeting along with other parents to go through what would happen in the new school year. Which included information about trips and when they would be. I found that helpful as I know when to need extra money by, so it gives me time to save.

My daughter has decided she wants to go on packed lunches rather than school meals as she wasn’t keen on them, so that’s going to be an extra cost too but I’d rather make sure she eats than not.

But, I’m excited for all the new things she will learn this year.
