STUDENT RESOURCE SCHEME 2020 YEAR 7 – 12 INCLUSIVE SRS Fee 2020: $325 per student
The Principal and Parents and Citizens Association of Pacific Pines SHS are proud to be able to extend to you the opportunity to take advantage of the school’s Student Resource Scheme. The scheme is authorised to operate under the Education (General Provisions) Act 2006 and Department of Education Training and Employment Policy. The major purpose of the Student Resource Scheme is to provide an extremely cost effective and efficient strategy to parents and students which:
Reduces the heavy financial outlay for parents in providing a wide variety of student resources
Eliminates shopping for text books and resources
Gives students access to a wide range of up-to-date resources
Supplements consumable resources which are used to ensure real life learning experiences for our students
Assists in maintaining a high level of technology across the school learning environment Accommodates a range of school based and workplace programs to enhance student skill development. Provision of student’s personal stationery requirements will be the responsibility of the parents and students. Please refer to the stationery list attached. As this school promotes an electronic learning environment, with all students providing their own device, stationery items are minimal. It is important to note that there are limited additional fees for subject levies. The majority of subject levy costs are included in your Resource Scheme fee. All monies raised through this scheme are expended directly on the students of the school on an annual basis. In return for payment of the Student Resource Scheme participation fee, your student will be provided with:
· All prescribed textbooks and digital version access · Initial Photographic ID card · Use of class sets of books and resources for in-class activities · Short term loans (e.g. plays, novels, and poetry for English) · Use of reference materials · The necessary range of teacher prepared notes and/or student worksheets in all subject areas · Use of equipment, consumable materials and photocopies for a range of subjects across all year levels · Student computer printing · Qld Core Skills preparation, practice and marking (Year 11 and 12 only) · The scheme contributes to the cost of materials in the majority of practical subjects · Access to Daymap, EdPerfect, Clickview and use of a number of computer software programs
The Government supplies tuition fees and basic general foundations for the delivery of student curriculum programs. Please note, the student resource scheme fees have had the cost of the government textbook allowance deducted to reduce the total cost which parents are required to pay. The Principal may refuse to admit a student to the scheme where there are outstanding fees from previous years. A student may also be excluded from extra-curricular activities due to non-payment of the student resource scheme. If you wish to discuss your payment options, please make contact with the finance office as soon as possible. Parents who elect not to participate in the Student Resource Scheme will be required to complete and sign certification that all necessary resources listed will be provided on time for their student. Failure to provide all resources as required could negatively impact student learning outcomes.
