As a service to assist parents with the cost of educational resources, our school has chosen to operate a Student Resource Scheme.
The purpose of the scheme is to provide the parent with a cost effective alternative to purchasing textbooks, resources, consumables and/or materials from elsewhere, through reduced prices gained from the school's bulk purchasing processes.
The scheme operates under the policy and guidelines of the Department of Education and Training (DET) and is approved annually by the P&C Association.
Participation in the scheme is optional.
A parent who does not wish to join the scheme is responsible for providing the student with the items that would otherwise have been provided to the student by the scheme as detailed on the Subject Requirements List, to enable the student to engage with the curriculum.
All the documentation listed will assist a parent to make an informed decision on the benefits of participating in the scheme:
All items provided for temporary student use by the scheme remain the property of the school and shall be returned at the end of the education program or school year or when the student leaves the school, whichever is the earlier. Items provided for temporary student use shall be kept in good condition by the student. Where an issued item is lost or negligently damaged or not returned, the parent may be invoiced and required to pay the replacement cost of the item.
Not Included
Optional school activities such as excursions; camps; performances; formals.
Financial Hardship
