Introduction 

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 children of Australian citizens of permanent residents, is met by the State.

Parents however are directly responsible for providing textbooks and other resources for their children while attending school.

In recognition that these costs can be high, Varsity College provides an optional service to assist parents with the cost of these educational resources, known as a Student Resource Scheme (SRS). The college SRS incorporates resources, texts and consumables including a laptop program with technical support, software, and insurance.

Participation in the college Student Resource Scheme is strongly encouraged. The scheme provides outstanding value for money as the college purchases in bulk to secure the best prices which, in turn, enables the SRS fees to be kept as low as possible. Participation in the scheme provides access to textbooks, resources, notebook computers, and other resources and consumables. A copy of our Fee Schedule can be found on our website (www.varsitycollege.eq.edu.au). All full-time and part-time students (with the exception of some international students) are entitled to a Textbook and Resource Allowance to offset the cost of textbooks and education resources. For parents who choose to participate in the SRS, the allowance is already provided for in the SRS fees. Parents who choose not to participate in the SRS however, are entitled to have the allowance paid to them directly. Should a family choose not to participate in the SRS, the parent/guardian is responsible for purchasing and providing those resources for their child whilst they are a student at Varsity College. The purpose of this document is to outline the required resources for each year level and/or secondary school subject. Indicative retail prices are also included to assist parents/guardians in making an informed choice, should they be considering ‘not participating’ in the SRS. Please also note, that personal devices (laptops, smart phones, tablets etc) are not permitted to access the Varsity College network. We trust that the information provided in this document, affords parents/guardians the opportunity to make an informed choice that best meets the needs of their family.
