Purpose of the resource scheme
In accordance with the Education (General Provisions) Act 2006, the cost of providing instruction , administration and facilities for the education of students enrolled at State schools who are Australian citizens or permanent residents, or childcare of Australian citizens or permanent residents, is met by the State.
Parents/carers are directly responsible for providing textbooks and other personal resources for their children while attending school. In recognition that these costs can be high, the school operates a Student Resource Scheme (the "scheme") that enables a parent/carer to enter into an agreement with the school that, for a specified annual participation fee, provides for the temporary use by the student of prescribed textbooks and/or other resources, and/or the purchase of consumables and materials for the student.
Benefits of the resource scheme
The purpose of the scheme is to provide the parent/carer with a cost effective alternative to purchasing the prescribed textbooks and/or resources elsewhere, through reduced prices gained from the school's bulk purchasing practices.
The scheme also ensures that students have consistent personal resources for their education, and saves the parent/carer time and money in sourcing the prescribed materials elsewhere.
The scheme is not used to raise funds for other purposes, and revenue collected through the scheme is applied only to the operation of the scheme.
The Junior Campus resource scheme includes all stationery and consumables.
The Senior Campus resource scheme does not cover stationery and consumables and material lists can be found on this site.
The Resource Scheme Forms are available to be downloaded from our Documents page.
