 #2   2024 Student Resource Scheme (SRS)

In 2024, all students will be invoiced a core fee (SRS Core) which will cover resources that are used by all students in that year level. Additional invoices (SRS iPad Hire Trial and SRS Instrumental Music ) will then be generated for nominated families.​

Frequently asked questions

​ ​Does the Student Resource Scheme include my child's stationery requirements?

Parents are required to provide resources in two ways:

1) The Book List and

2) The Student Resource Scheme.

All students will supply their own personal stationery items as outlined in the year level Book List. 

Isn't education free?

All schools operate within the policy and guidelines of the Department of Education and in accordance with section 51 of the Education (General Provisions) Act 2006. DoE encourages schools to operate a scheme as a service to parents. Whilst schools receive funding from the government to operate the school, student resource expenses extend beyond the budget. Parents therefore are asked to support their child's learning by either providing the resource item itself or participating in the scheme. 

Why pay 2024 Book list and Student Resource Scheme Fees by January 2024?

We ask for all parent/carers to pay fees at the start of the 2024 school year, so that student learning materials and books may be purchased early and discounts secured, through early payment and bulk ordering.  Participants will then have the opportunity of accessing their resources when they commence school. 

Do I have to participate in the Student Resource Scheme?

Participation in the scheme is voluntary. If parents choose not to participate in the Scheme they will be required to provide the resources listed in the scheme for their child when required throughout the year.  A list for your child's year level is available for the office. 

What happens if I am experiencing financial difficulty?

Anyone experiencing financial difficulty at this time and wishing to pay the Student Resource Scheme over an extended time period should phone the school and speak with our Business Manager on 5351 2222.  It is our intention to encourage all families to join the Scheme and enjoy its benefits.

Please contact the school to make an appointment with the Principal or Business Manager should you have any questions regarding the Scheme. 

What is excluded from the SRS?

There are guidelines for schools on what is not allowed to be included, for example: excursions, competitions,

first aid supplies, safety equipment, internet costs or any resource needed for assessment. In addition, all resources included in a SRS must be able to be purchased by a parent choosing not to participate in the scheme. 

How much do I need to pay to participate in the SRS?

Each school, in consultation with their P&C Association, determines the resources that will be included in the SRS, and the fees that will be charged for those resources. The fees are based upon the value of the items in the scheme, this includes items that are:

  • owned (generally equal to the cost for the school to purchase)
  • used in class (as an average cost of resourcing the class) and
  • hired to the students (based upon the expected life of the item).
