You are invited to join the Palmview State Primary School, 2025 Curriculum Student Resource Scheme (SRS) and iPad SRS. The SRS is supported by the school's P&C, and is managed by the school. It operates under the policies and guidelines as set out by the Department of Education and Training FNM-PR-108 : Student Resource Scheme and in accordance with section 51 of the Education (General Provisions) Act 2006.
Participation in the SRS is voluntary and you are under no obligation to join. However, please be aware that books, materials and consumables required under this scheme are not funded by school grants, and are provided on a user-pays basis. Therefore, if you do not wish to patriciate in the scheme, you are still responsible for providing your child with the items that would otherwise be provided by the scheme. A detailed list of requirements is available on the links below.
The purpose of the scheme is to provide you with a cost effective, value for money alternative to purchasing textbooks, resources, consumables and materials including stationery resources, through reduced prices gained from the school's bulk purchasing processes.
The cost for participation in the scheme is as follows
We have been able to reduce the Curriculum SRS across all year levels for the 2025 school year. To purchase the items individually would cost over $700. If you are a returning family and have already completed the SRS form at the point of enrolment, have paid all fees for 2024 and will be continuing to participate in our SRS there is no need to sign further documentation. If you do not wish to participate in 2025 please contact our office and the Business Manager will be in contact with you to discuss the items you will need to provide to support your students learning in 2025.
Invoices will be sent via email early in 2025 and can be paid via the Bpoint link on the invoice or paid directly to the office.
