This page contains important information about Student Resource Schemes (SRS) including how the scheme operates and the annual participation fee.
The Queensland Government supports students' education by providing funding for:
· Instruction, e.g. teachers
· Facilities, e.g. buildings, amenities, furniture
· Administration, e.g. staffing and resources to administer the operations of the school.
Funding does not extend to individual student resources such as textbooks, computer or musical equipment for personal use, and many items used/consumed by the student in the classroom. Supply of these items is the responsibility of parents.
A Student Resource Scheme (SRS) is a user-charging scheme operated by schools to provide parents with a mechanism to access individual student resources that are not funded by the government. Schools develop the SRS based on resources needed by students and the programs offered at the school. The fees and inclusions are endorsed annually by the P&C and parents must be provided with annual information regarding the SRS fees and inclusions. Parental participation in the SRS is optional. When a parent chooses not to participate, the parent is responsible for providing the resources.
Kelso State School does not currently operate under a Student Resource Scheme
