The 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 parental participation in the SRS is optional. The SRS is offerred to families as a cost effective method of purchasing resources and textbooks and is the most economical approach to provide the necessary items needed to enable student learning. It offers value for money when compared to purchasing these textbooks and other resources yourself and saves parents/caregivers the need to shop around for textbooks. When a parent chooses not to participate, the parent is responsible for providing the resources.
