Student Resource Scheme

WebPartZone1_1
The Principal and the Parents and Citizens Association of Pimpama State Secondary College are pleased to offer families the opportunity to participate in the voluntary Student Resource Scheme (SRS).

The scheme ensures students have the resources needed to support their learning while providing a cost-effective option for parents through the college’s bulk purchasing arrangements.

What is provided by the Queensland Government?

• Instruction, eg. teachers / teacher aides

• Facilities, eg. buildings, amenities, furniture

• Administration, eg. staffing and resources to administer the operations of the school.

The types of resources that will be included

• Owned by the student – eg: photcopying, stationery etc – once provided, these items are retained by the student and used at their discretion.

• Hired to the student for a specific duration of time – eg: textbooks, novels and musical instruments – these items will need to be returned to the school in reasonable condition at the end of the hire period or if the student leaves the school.

• Used in class – eg: stationery, timber, materials, workbooks – these items will be used in class. Finished products that are created from these resources will generally come home with the student.

The Textbooks and Resource Allowance (TRA)

The Department of Education provides a Textbooks and Resource Allowance (TRA) to assist parents with the cost of textbooks and other education resources for eligible Year 7 to 12 students.

For those students who are eligible to receive the TRA, the TRA will be applied to reduce the cost of participation as shown in the table below. The SRS invoice you receive will be the full cost of participation in the SRS minus the TRA already held at the school.
