Student Resource Scheme
In
2018 Kenmore South State School is reintroducing a Student Resource Scheme. We
believe this system is responsive to the learning needs of our students and the
teaching needs of our teachers.
Parents are
invited to join the
Student Resource Scheme (SRS) for 2018. This
scheme operates under the policy and guidelines of the Department Education,
Training and Employment. The scheme,
while supported and approved annually by the school’s Parents and Citizens
Association (P&C), is managed by the school and operates in accordance with
section 51 of the Education (General Provisions) Act 2006. The cost of providing instruction, administration and facilities for the education of a student at a state school is met by the State. However, a parent is directly responsible for providing their child with other resources for use at school.
The scheme is voluntary and you are
under no obligation to join. However, please
be aware that materials and consumables required under this scheme are not
funded by school grants. Therefore if you do not wish to join the scheme you
are responsible for providing your child with the items.
The provision of this scheme ensures
that well resourced learning by our students remains our key focus. The scheme is not a fundraiser for the
school. Its purpose is to provide a cost
effective alternative to purchasing resources and consumables from elsewhere, at
reduced prices gained from the school’s bulk purchasing processes. Fees fund essential resources and materials
used in his/her classroom. Items
provided by the scheme are as follows:

A comprehensive list of what the Student Resource Scheme participation fee provides for your child is available

scheme you are required to complete the attached Participation Agreement Form. There are terms and conditions on the back of
the form. Please note this is a generic
form for all Queensland primary and secondary schools. Please return the form to the school office by
Friday 16 February 2018.
An invoice will be sent home after the
participation form has been returned. Payments will be due for payment by the end
of Term 1. Payments can be made via
BPoint 24/7 (preferred method - link and CRN included on invoice or see over), at
the office payment window between 8:00am and 9:30am daily, by cheque, EFT or cash.
If you do not elect to join the scheme you are still required to complete and return the Participation
Agreement Form, indicating your non participation, to the school office
by Friday 16 February 2018. It will then
be your responsibility to purchase the resources provided by the scheme.
Please note:
Excursions, incursions, camps,
interschool sport, swimming and instrumental music fees are not included in the
SRS.
Total costs for students enrolling
in Terms 2, 3 or 4 will be charged on a pro-rata basis.
Refunds of up to 50% will be made
for students who leave the school.
If you are experiencing genuine
financial hardship, you can make an appointment with the Principal and/or
Business Services Manager to discuss a suitable payment arrangement. Payment plans can be set up via the BPoint
service as an automatic direct debit on your account, a link will be sent to
you after your plan has been approved to finalise this process.
Thank you in anticipation of your
contribution towards this valuable scheme.
