CORINDA STATE HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT RESOURCES HANDBOOK JUNIOR SCHOOL YEAR 7, 8 & 9 2015 STUDENT RESOURCE SCHEME (SRS) STATONERY REQUIREMENTS SUBJECT LEVIES Commitment Dear Parent/Caregiver Corinda State High School is committed to providing the best possible resources to support student learning and the most effective way to do this is through the provision of a Student Resource Scheme (SRS). The purpose of the scheme is to provide parents/caregivers with a cost effective alternative to purchasing textbooks, resources, consumables and materials from elsewhere through reduced prices gained from the school’s bulk purchasing processes. Courtesy Cooperation The benefit for parents is that it is one upfront fee that can be budgeted for, while students are then able to access a full range of resources throughout the year. This scheme also offers the teacher’s flexibility and opportunity to access a wide variety of up to date and current resources, materials and text made possible through this scheme to provide innovative curriculum and powerful learning. Participation in this scheme is voluntary, but I can sincerely say that what we are providing is exceptional value. The scheme has the approval of the school’s Parents and Citizens’ Association. The annual fee to participate in the scheme is $ 280.00. The benefits of this scheme are clearly set out in this booklet. Helen Jamieson Principal Corinda State High School STUDENT RESOURCE SCHEME 2015 YEARS 7, 8 & 9 INFORMATION, TERMS AND CONDITIONS Corinda State High School operates a Student Resource Scheme to ensure that all students have the necessary resources to support their educational requirements. It is also intended to parents/caregivers as a convenience and provides a more economical option to purchasing new textbooks each year. Contribution to the scheme is voluntary. Parents/caregivers are under no obligation to join, however, they will need to provide all necessary textbooks and pay for resources for the students if they elect not to join the scheme. The Student Resource Scheme operates at this school under the policy and guidelines of Education Queensland and has been endorsed by the Corinda State High School Parents and Citizens’. Parents who wish to take advantage and participate in the Student Resource Scheme pay an annual fee and any additional charges that relate to an area of studies where extra intensive resourcing is required, and sign an agreement to comply with the condition of the scheme. Authority Corinda High School is funded primarily by the State Government to meet the costs associated with the provision of instruction, facilities and administration for the education of all students.

Exceed Your Expectations Non-Participation Parents/caregivers who do not wish to participate in the scheme should complete Option 2 Non-Participation Agreement Form and return it to the School Office. These parents/caregivers will receive a payment or credit from the school to the value of the Government Allowance for their child. However, parents/caregivers are expected to provide all necessary textbooks and resource for their child. A list of the textbooks can be provided via the Textbook Hire Room and students will be invoiced for resources supplied by the school that are included in this scheme. Non-Participants should also refer to the school refund policy. Student Resource Scheme (SRS) – Parent Contribution: Every effort has been made to contain the cost of the participation fee whilst ensuring that adequate resources are available for student use. The standard parent contribution for 2015 will be $ 280.00 for the entire year in all year levels. This is approximately $ 7.00 per week and an early bird discount will be offered of $ 20.00 where this fee is paid in full by the 23 January, 2015. This contribution is in addition to the Government Textbook Allowance. The scheme represents excellent value and provides substantial savings to parents of students in all year levels. Joining the Student Resource Scheme is optional. It attracts many benefits, which are detailed here for your information. If you do not join the scheme, and hence access the savings due to bulk purchase, sharing of texts over a number of years and streamlined, enhanced resource provision, you will need to purchase individual resources as required and pay for all the benefits previously listed that will be received by members of the scheme. (The average cost of a textbook is currently $ 55.00 approx., with some costing up to $ 85.00 each.) A detailed costing of all items to be purchased will be made available on request. The school encourages your participation in the scheme, as the best savings for all eventuate from high participation rates. The SRS at this school operates under the policy and guidelines of Education Queensland. Parents wishing to take advantage of the services provided by the scheme are required to pay the annual contribution and sign a Participation Agreement Form agreeing to the conditions herein. Textbook and Resource Allowance – Government Contribution: Education Queensland encourages schools to provide a SRS in an effort to limit costs to parents. The Queensland Government Textbook and Resource Allowance supports this scheme. To this end schools, with the approval of their Parents and Citizens Association, may elect to receive a direct bulk payment of the government textbook allowance for all students. The allowance is paid only once in any calendar year, regardless of the number of schools the student attends. This allowance assists with the early purchase of materials and books so that the advantage of discounts can be secured through bulk ordering. Our Parents and Citizens Association has currently approved direct payment of the allowance to the school. Should parents decide not to participate in the scheme the school will pay the Textbook and Resource Allowance to them. The Government Textbook Allowance for 2015 is to be advised. All students attending secondary schools in Queensland (state or non-state) are eligible to receive a Textbook and Resource Allowance with the exception of the following categories of students: students enrolled as full fee paying overseas students (FFOS); students on exchange programs; students undertaking part time distance education from a non-state school accredited for distance education; students enrolled after the first Friday in August. Subject Levies Some subjects attract an additional subject levy charge. These levies are based on user pay and are affiliated with subject areas that have a high consumable or resource requirement for the subject studied. These costs are additional to the basic consumables and resources included in the Resource Hire Scheme (SRS) eg Industrial Technologies, Applied Studies and Art. Please refer to the Subject Charges as attached. Exceed Your Expectations TERM PAYMENT CALENDAR Full payment of the SRS Participation Fee is the school’s preferred payment option to be paid by the end of the third week of school, 13 February 2015. Full payment is preferable for ease of management and issue of school resources to students. However, if financial constraints prevent full payment at this time, term payments are an option. If choosing the term payment method to pay SRS participation fees, please display this calendar in a prominent place so that you do not miss payments when they are due. The initial term payment is due within the first three weeks of term 1. However, each subsequent term payment is due during the first week of term. Please be prompt with term payments. Reminder accounts will only be issued as notification of late payment. It is the responsibility of the parent/guardian to ensure term payments are made on time if this is their chosen option. There will be reminder notices via the school newsletter. If there are special circumstances that will prevent payment by the due date, please phone the school (3379 0222) to discuss payment at a later date. The “Automatic Deduction of Term Payments from Credit Card” solves the problem of remembering to pay by the due date. Please complete this section on the “SRS Participation Agreement Form” if choosing this option.

Payment of the participation fee is to be made according to the payment arrangement option indicated by the parent on the Participation Agreement Form, or as otherwise approved by the Principal. 26.

This may result in extra costs being incurred by the parent. 27.

The Principal may refuse to admit a student to the scheme where participation fees are overdue from the previous year’s scheme. 29. Where participation fees are overdue, the Principal has the discretion to exclude a student from an optional extra curricula school activity. 30. The scheme provides the entire package for the specified participation fee, and is not available in parts unless specifically provided for by the school in the fee structure. 31. All textbooks and resources provided for temporary use by the scheme remain the property of the scheme and shall be returned at the end of the course or school year or when the student leaves the school, whichever is the earlier. Where an item is not returned, the parent will be responsible for payment to the scheme of the replacement cost of the item. Failure to make payment may result in debt recovery action being undertaken. 32. Textbooks and other resources provided for temporary student use by the scheme shall be kept in good condition by the student. The school Administration Office shall be notified immediately of the loss or negligent damage to any issued item.

The parent is responsible for supplying the student with any additional student materials that are not provided by the Student Resource Scheme, as indicated on the Year Level Requirements List and/or Subject Requirements List or otherwise advised by the school. 34. If a student enters the scheme after the first week of school, a pro-rata participation fee will apply, calculated on a 40-week school year basis. 35. If a student, having paid a participation fee, leaves the school through the year, a pro-rata refund will be made to the parent, calculated on the participation fee paid, less the cost of consumed materials and the replacement cost of scheme items that are lost or negligently damaged or not returned, plus the pro-rata Textbook and Resource Allowance calculated on a 40-week school year basis. 36.

The Principal may thereafter undertake debt recovery action for the overdue participation fee including, where warranted, referral to an external debt collection agency. This may result in extra costs being incurred by the parent. 27. Without limiting any other action the Principal may take in accordance with these terms and conditions, subject to 26 above, the Principal may withdraw a student’s participation in the scheme due to non-payment of a participation fee, and/or may require the return of items provided by the scheme for the temporary use of the student, and/or may withhold the giving of any further items under the scheme until the debt is paid. 28. The Principal may refuse to admit a student to the scheme where participation fees are overdue from the previous year’s scheme. 29. Where participation fees are overdue, the Principal has the discretion to exclude a student from an optional extra curricula school activity. 30. The scheme provides the entire package for the specified participation fee, and is not available in parts unless specifically provided for by the school in the fee structure. 31. All textbooks and resources provided for temporary use by the scheme remain the property of the scheme and shall be returned at the end of the course or school year or when the student leaves the school, whichever is the earlier. Where an item is not returned, the parent will be responsible for payment to the scheme of the replacement cost of the item. Failure to make payment may result in debt recovery action being undertaken. 32. Textbooks and other resources provided for temporary student use by the scheme shall be kept in good condition by the student. The school Administration Office shall be notified immediately of the loss or negligent damage to any issued item. Where an issued item is lost or negligently damaged, parents will be responsible for payment to the scheme of the replacement cost of the item. Failure to make payment may result in debt recovery action being undertaken. 33. The parent is responsible for supplying the student with any additional student materials that are not provided by the Student Resource Scheme, as indicated on the Year Level Requirements List and/or Subject Requirements List or otherwise advised by the school. 34. If a student enters the scheme after the first week of school, a pro-rata participation fee will apply, calculated on a 40-week school year basis. 35. If a student, having paid a participation fee, leaves the school through the year, a pro-rata refund will be made to the parent, calculated on the participation fee paid, less the cost of consumed materials and the replacement cost of scheme items that are lost or negligently damaged or not returned, plus the pro-rata Textbook and Resource Allowance calculated on a 40-week school year basis. 36. As the scheme operates for the benefit of participating parents and is funded solely from participation fees, resources provided by the scheme will not be issued to students whose parents choose not to participate in the 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. 38. Parents 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 school operates a Student Resource Scheme (the “scheme”) that enables a parent to enter into an agreement with the school that, for a specified annual participation fee, provides for the temporary use by the student of prescribed textbooks and/or other resources, and/or the purchase of consumables and materials for the student. 39. 3. A Student Resource Scheme is separate to and distinct from a request for a voluntary financial contribution. Benefits of the Scheme 40. The purpose of the scheme is to provide the parent with a cost effective alternative to purchasing textbooks and/or resources elsewhere, through reduced prices gained from the school’s bulk purchasing practices. 41. The scheme also ensures that students have consistent personal resources for their education, and saves the parent time and money in sourcing the prescribed materials elsewhere. 42. The scheme is not used to raise funds for other purposes, and revenue collected through the scheme is applied only to the operation of the scheme. Participation in the Scheme 43. Participation in the scheme is voluntary, and there is no obligation on a parent to participate in the scheme. A parent’s decision to participate or not is based on consideration of the value afforded to them by the scheme. 44. The completed and signed Participation Agreement Form should be returned to the school by the advertised date to indicate participation or nonparticipation in the scheme. 45. If a parent chooses to participate in the scheme and completes the Participation Agreement Form, a fee will be due and payable by the parent for the items provided by the scheme to the student. 46. Payment of the participation fee is a requirement for continued participation in the scheme. An unpaid fee will be subject to the school’s debt collection processes. 47. A parent who does not wish to participate in the student resource scheme shall inform the school by completing the Participation Agreement Form and returning it to the Administration Office. Arrangements will be made for the parents of students in Years 8 to 12 or of secondary education age to be paid the value of the Textbook and Resource Allowance for each of their eligible children. 48. A parent who chooses not to participate in the scheme is responsible for providing the student with all items that would otherwise be provided to the student by the scheme as detailed on the Year Level Requirements List and/or Subject Requirements List, to enable the student to engage with the curriculum. Parents and Citizens’ Association Support of the Scheme 49. The operation of the Student Resource Scheme is discussed annually at a meeting of the Parents and Citizens’ Association. Parents are extended an invitation to attend this meeting and provided with an opportunity to express their opinions. A vote is taken at this meeting on supporting the operation of the scheme. Textbook and Resource Allowance 50. The Queensland Government provides financial assistance to parents of students in Years 8 to 12 or of secondary education age, attending State and approved non-State schools, to offset the costs of textbooks and other resources. Assistance is provided in the form of a Textbook and Resource Allowance which is paid once a calendar year through the school. Parents have the option to receive the allowance directly from the school or as an offset of fees associated with participation in the school's Student Resource Scheme. This option is made available to each parent annually by the school. Current allowance rates are available from http://education.qld.gov.au/finance/grants/fund/garp/html/par- stu.html Payment Arrangements 51. Payment of the participation fee may be made by EFTPOS (Debit Card; MasterCard; Visa; cheque, or cash. 52. For payment made by direct deposit (EFT) to the bank account indicated on the front of the form, please ensure that the payment reference includes the reference as indicated on the front of this form. The acknowledgement from your financial institution of the successful electronic transfer of funds should be retained as your record of payment. 53. Payment of the participation fee may be made in whole or by instalment as indicated on the Participation Agreement Form or for another amount as approved by the Principal. 54. For payments made in person by cash, cheque or credit/debit card, a receipt will be provided to the payer. Where payments are received by other methods, a receipt will be provided on request. All receipts and documentation on the scheme should be retained by the parent for future reference and possible taxation purposes. Parent Experiencing Financial Difficulties 55. A parent wishing to participate in the Student Resource Scheme and experiencing financial hardship is encouraged to contact the principal to discuss how their financial obligations can be met throughout the school year, or to negotiate alternative arrangements that may be available to accommodate their individual circumstances. Centrelink deduction is a payment option offered by the school. All discussions will be held in the strictest confidence. 56. The onus of proof of being so affected is on the parent, and might include a current Health Care Card or other evidence to establish financial hardship. 57. Any concessions given to the participation fee will be at the discretion of the Principal. Terms and Conditions of Participation in the Scheme 58. For the purposes of the scheme, where a student is living independent of his/her parents, reference in the terms and conditions to “parent” is a reference to the independent student. 59. Where a parent chooses to join the scheme and completes a Participation Agreement Form, an annual participation fee will be due and payable by the parent to the Student Resource Scheme. 60. In return for payment of the participation fee, the scheme will provide the participating student with textbooks and/or resources, consumables and materials as listed on the Year Level Requirements List and/or Subject Requirements List as being provided by the scheme, when due for the student’s use. 61. Payment of the participation fee is to be made according to the payment arrangement option indicated by the parent on the Participation Agreement Form, or as otherwise approved by the Principal. 62. Non-payment of the participation fee by the designated payment date(s) will generate a reminder notice to the parent/carer from the school at intervals of 30 days overdue and 60 days overdue. The Principal may thereafter undertake debt recovery action for the overdue participation fee including, where warranted, referral to an external debt collection agency. This may result in extra costs being incurred by the parent. 63. Without limiting any other action the Principal may take in accordance with these terms and conditions, subject to 26 above, the Principal may withdraw a student’s participation in the scheme due to non-payment of a participation fee, and/or may require the return of items provided by the scheme for the temporary use of the student, and/or may withhold the giving of any further items under the scheme until the debt is paid. 64. The Principal may refuse to admit a student to the scheme where participation fees are overdue from the previous year’s scheme. 65. Where participation fees are overdue, the Principal has the discretion to exclude a student from an optional extra curricula school activity. 66. The scheme provides the entire package for the specified participation fee, and is not available in parts unless specifically provided for by the school in the fee structure. 67. All textbooks and resources provided for temporary use by the scheme remain the property of the scheme and shall be returned at the end of the course or school year or when the student leaves the school, whichever is the earlier. Where an item is not returned, the parent will be responsible for payment to the scheme of the replacement cost of the item. Failure to make payment may result in debt recovery action being undertaken. 68. Textbooks and other resources provided for temporary student use by the scheme shall be kept in good condition by the student. The school Administration Office shall be notified immediately of the loss or negligent damage to any issued item. Where an issued item is lost or negligently damaged, parents will be responsible for payment to the scheme of the replacement cost of the item. Failure to make payment may result in debt recovery action being undertaken. 69. The parent is responsible for supplying the student with any additional student materials that are not provided by the Student Resource Scheme, as indicated on the Year Level Requirements List and/or Subject Requirements List or otherwise advised by the school. 70. If a student enters the scheme after the first week of school, a pro-rata participation fee will apply, calculated on a 40-week school year basis. 71. If a student, having paid a participation fee, leaves the school through the year, a pro-rata refund will be made to the parent, calculated on the participation fee paid, less the cost of consumed materials and the replacement cost of scheme items that are lost or negligently damaged or not returned, plus the pro-rata Textbook and Resource Allowance calculated on a 40-week school year basis. As the scheme operates for the benefit of participating parents and is funded solely from participation fees, resources provided by the scheme will not be issued to students whose parents choose not to participate in the scheme.
