ORMEAU STATE SCHOOL

STUDENT RESOURCE SCHEME – PREP YEAR

Whilst The Department of Education and Training provides instruction, administration and facilities for the education of students in State Schools, parents/caregivers are directly responsible for providing the student with textbooks and other resources for their child’s use while attending school.For the provision of these resources, parents of Prep students have two options – Option 1: Student Resource Scheme – Prep Year participation or Option2: supply Requirement List.

OPTION 1: Student Resource Scheme – Prep Year

As a service to assist parents with the cost of these educational resources, Ormeau State School, with the support of the P&C offers parents a Student Resource Scheme for the Prep Year (the Student Resource Scheme – Prep Year) that involves the temporary use of some resources and the purchase of consumables and materials for their child in return for a specified participation fee.

The purpose of the StudentResource Scheme – Prep Year is to provide the parent with a cost effective alternative to purchasing resources, consumables and/or materials from elsewhere, through reduced prices gained from the school’s bulk purchasing processes.​ The Student Resource Scheme – Prep Yearalso ensures that teachers can distribute resources to students immediately or undertake activities based on students’ interest in a timely manner, thus improving the quality of teaching and learning time for all students.

Participation in the Student Resource Scheme – Prep Yearis voluntary. However, parents who do not wish to participate must supply the resources listed on the Requirements List – Prep Year (refer Option 2).

THE STUDENT RESOURCE SCHEME – PREP YEARPARTICIPATION FEE FOR 2017 is $185.00

Your payment of the Student Resource Scheme – Prep Year will provide the following towards your child’s education:

  • Before a student can receive resources or materials provided by the Student Resource Scheme – Prep Year, the parent who has agreed to participate is expected to have fully paid the participation fee, or paid the participation fee up to and including the term in which the school activity takes place, or made regular on-going payments towards the participation fee, as previously arranged with the Principal or delegate.
  • If a student starts during the school year, the participation fee is reduced on a pro-rata basis.

Parents experiencing financial hardship are encouraged to contact the principal or designated officer to discuss payment or resourcing options that may be available to accommodate their circumstances.

OPTION 2: Requirements List – Prep Year
