​You are invited to join the Palmview State Primary School, 2024 iPad Student Resource Scheme (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 iPad SRS is voluntary and you are under no obligation to join. However, please be aware that iPad and other items covered under this scheme are not funded by school grants, and are provided on a user-pays basis. A detailed list of what is provided within the iPad SRS is available on our school website and is attached to this letter.

The purpose of the scheme is to provide you with a cost effective, value for money alternative to purchasing an iPad for your student to use within class through reduced prices gained from the school's bulk purchasing processes. The cost for participation in the scheme is as follows

Prep to Year 2 $195

Year 3 to Year 6 $255

We are aware that this is an increase from the 2023 prices. Unfortunately, due to price increases worldwide we are unable to avoid this. To purchase the items individually would cost over $400. If you are a returning family and have already completed the SRS form 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 2024 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 2024.  

Due to a program offered by the department we have been able to purchase 80 iPads, cases and insurance at a decreased cost. With this in place we are able to offer any parent holding a Health Care / Pension Card or who would like to book an appointment with the Principal and Business Manager to discuss their financial situation a 50% reduced rate for the iPad SRS for the next 4 years – with expiry dates on Health Care or Pension Cards a new card will need to be produced to secure the reduced rate for the following year. Please contact the office to discuss these options and secure your discount for the 2024 school year.

Payment Options

Payment plans are available and can be organised by contacting the school administration team. The first payment must be received by the end of the first week of term one and be finalised in full by the last week of term 3.

Payments can be made by EFT, Cheque, Centrepay, Direct Deposit, QParents or BPoint.

​Anybody who joins the scheme but fails to pay the full contribution may be excluded from the scheme at the discretion of the Principal. 

Thank you in anticipation for your contribution towards this valuable scheme. Please contact the Business Manager – Hellen Nolen bsm@palmviewss.eq.edu.au should you have any questions regarding the scheme.
