Lawnton Student Resource Scheme and Booklist
Student Resource Scheme
The Queensland Government supports students’ education by providing funding for Instruction,e.g. teachers, facilities, buildings, amenities, furniture 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. The scheme ensures that students have the resources required for them to engage with the curriculum for their education, and saves parents time and money in sourcing the prescribed materials elsewhere. The scheme’s operation, resource inclusions and participation fees were approved by the school’s P&C Association.
A parent’s participation or non-participation in the scheme will continue as per their previously completed Participation Agreement Form. Parents can opt in or out of the scheme in subsequent years by completing another Participation Agreement Form. If a parent has opted out of the scheme, they are then required to provide the educational resources listed in the SRS for their child by the start of the school year.
In 2025, the Student Resource Scheme will be $80 per student. This covers student learning subscriptions, science and art consumables and photocopying of class resources.
