For parents, especially those who are reliant on social welfare or in low paid employment, the combined costs of school uniforms, books, sports gear and school trips can be excessive particularly at the onset of the school year. These costs often result in families getting into debt or having to sacrifice essential items such as healthy food which in turn can impact negatively on children. Although the Department of Social and Family Affairs provides a Back to School Clothing and Footwear Allowance (BSCFA) to those families who meet the tight qualifying criteria it is still inadequate to assist in the ongoing costs of

    Girls learn not to value education and not to want it for themselves. We are taught that being pretty is the best thing a girl can be. We are told that being smart is not important, that science and math are for boys who want to build rockets.

However, the gender pay gap has been proven to exist in a variety of different forms,
