Student Resource Scheme
The cost of supplying textbooks for students and of purchasing equipment such as uniforms, drawing equipment, writing materials and consumable equipment is increasing each year. In an attempt to keep the rising costs financially manageable for most families, the school invites parents to consider the Student Resource Scheme.
The scheme has many benefits for both students and parents. The school operates a Student Resource Scheme (SRS) under Education Queensland guidelines. The scheme aims to provide all students with necessary basic textbooks and associated learning materials at considerable savings to parents. Parents have a choice of either joining the scheme OR privately purchasing all the various textbooks, novels and other materials as well as paying for all other items included in the scheme. Personal stationery items are not provided as part of the scheme and will need to be purchased for students.
The Participation Agreement Form for Student Resource Scheme is operated by the school and endorsed by the Parent and Citizens’ Association. It is a requirement of the Department of Education that the Participation Agreement Form is completed and signed, by the parent/carer. This should be done irrespective of whether or not you wish to join the scheme, as indicated by ticking either the ‘Yes’ or ‘No’ box on the form. Parents/carers are now able to participate in the scheme for the duration of their student’s enrolment at Aitkenvale State School.
