2020 Student Resource Scheme (SRS)

including Subject Fees

A Note from the College Principal There are many costs associated with providing quality educational opportunities, which all students deserve. Kawana Waters State College offers a Student Resource Scheme (SRS) as an economical alternative for the provision of high quality resources for their students. SRS is organised by the College, operates under the policy and guidelines of the Department of Education (DoE), is approved annually by the College Council and is endorsed by the P&C Association. Participation in the scheme is optional, however before you make your decision, please read the contents of this document to see how you are able to make savings. At Kawana Waters State College, we try to minimise the financial impact on parents and families. This year the College has absorbed the inflationary increases to keep costs as low as possible. Because of this, I do request that everyone pays quickly and in full. Where at all possible, paying upfront or early in the year is expected.

Payment options are also available. Please complete the ‘Student Resource Scheme Participation Agreement’ to formalize your participation in the scheme and to advise of your payment intentions. Should you be experiencing financial difficulties please contact our Finance staff or Principals to discuss your payment options.

I look forward to your support in ensuring your student starts day one prepared and resourced for the academic challenges ahead.

Regards

Colin Allen-Waters

Please 1. Read this document 2. Complete & sign the Student Resource Scheme(SRS) Participation Agreement 3. Return 1 Agreement per student to the College office ASAP 4. You will receive an invoice for SRS & Subject fees 5. Payment options and other related forms can be found later in this booklet

Purpose of the Student Resource Scheme

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 or permanent residents is met by the state. Parents/carers are directly responsible for providing textbooks and other personal resources for their children while attending school. In recognition that these costs can be high, the College operates a Student Resource Scheme (SRS), that enables a parent/carer to enter into an agreement with the College. For a specified annual participation fee, the College provides for the temporary use by the student, prescribed textbooks and/or other resources, and/or the purchase of many consumables and materials for the student.

The scheme is not used to raise funds for any other purpose than to provide resources for your student. Participation fees are directly applied to fund the service delivered by the scheme. The scheme provides the entire package for the specified participation fee and is not available in parts unless specifically discussed and signed by the College Principal.

The Student Resource Scheme includes textbooks, etexts and/or educational resources that, in the absence of the scheme would normally be purchased by the parent for the student to use at school. The scheme may also include printed material such as workbooks and worksheets, produced by the College in lieu of prescribed textbooks. Benefits of the Scheme

Students have the required resources for their education whilst at school.

The benefits from the savings that the College can secure through bulk purchases and discounts are passed on to families.

The scheme saves parents/carers time and money in sourcing appropriate textbooks, e-learning resources and other materials supplied under the scheme.

Student Resource Scheme (SRS) - Terms and Conditions Participation in the scheme is voluntary. A parent's decision to participate is based on consideration of the value

afforded by the scheme. This form is completed at enrolment and/or when moving from Primary (P-6) to Secondary

(7-12). If a parent chooses to participate in the scheme and has completed the Participation Agreement Form, a fee

will be due and payable.

On lodgement of the completed Participation Agreement Form with the College and payment of the participation fee in accordance with the agreed payment arrangement, the College will provide the items to the student for use, as they are required.

Payment of the participation fee by the parent is required for continued participation in the scheme. An unpaid fee will be subject to the Department’s debt recovery processes and withdrawal of resources included in the scheme.

A parent who does not wish to join the scheme is responsible for providing the student with the items that would otherwise have been provided to the student by the scheme to enable them to engage with the curriculum. Detailed lists are available later from Heads of Department.

All items provided for temporary student use by the scheme remain the property of the College and shall be returned at the end of the education program or school year, or when the student leaves the College, whichever is the earlier. The student shall keep items provided for temporary student use in good condition. Where an issued item is lost, negligently damaged, or not returned, the parent may be invoiced and required to pay the replacement cost of the item.

The Student Resource Scheme does not include: voluntary financial contributions to supplement the instruction, administration and facilities for the

education of the student at school resources funded by the state through grant funding to provide a core educational service including student

internet access during class time College uniforms and activities such as excursions, camps, performances, and formals

Note: Before a student can be considered for participation in an optional College activity, a parent is expected to have: fully paid all outstanding fees or paid the Student Resource Scheme and other outstanding fees up to and including the week in which the

College activity takes place or made regular on-going payments towards these fees, as previously arranged with the Principal, Heads of

Campus or Business Manager been exempted by the Principal from paying all or part of these fees.

A student, whose parent has joined the Student Resource Scheme but not paid the participation fee, will continue to be provided with instruction, administration and facilities for their education, however the student will have textbooks and resources withheld and will not be considered to participate in optional College activities, camps, excursions, primary swimming programs, senior jersey, formal etc. Parents experiencing financial hardship are encouraged to contact the Finance Staff or Principals to discuss payment or resourcing options that may be available to accommodate their circumstances. Onus of proof of being so affected is on the parent.

Parents will be charged a pro-rata participation fee for a student who enrols after the first week of school, calculated on a 40-week school year basis. Refunds: The College will make a pro rata refund to the parent of a student who, having paid the SRS fee, completes a “Release” form and/or leaves the College during the year. The pro rata refund is calculated on the fees paid, less the cost of consumed materials and the replacement cost of scheme items that are lost, negligently damaged or not returned. The College “Refund Policy” is available on our website. www.kawanawaterssc.eq.edu.au

Invitation:

All Parents are invited to attend an advertised P&C meeting every year, to obtain information and share discussions regarding the Student Resource Scheme and Secondary Subject Fees. Meetings occur on the third Thursday of each month.

College policy endorsed by the P&C is that prior to any excursions, camps, Senior jerseys, Primary swimming program, College trips etc. all SRS and subject fee payments should be finalised, or if on an agreed Payment Plan - payments are up to date. Exceptions will be by negotiation with the College Principal only. Should you be experiencing financial difficulties, please contact the Business Manager – Finance to arrange a payment plan.
