Student Resource Scheme
Information Booklet
2020
Dear Parents/Guardians
At Kelvin Grove State College, we take a holistic approach to developing young people’s learning.
Our Junior, Middle and Senior school curriculum is futures-focussed, innovative and caring, but
still embraces the core elements of education that have traditionally been essential for success.
Over many years now, our students have experienced a world-class standard of education,
preparing them for their futures whilst also enabling them to make a valuable contribution to the
wider community. We know they will continue to do so in the years to come. It is, and always has
been, our people – students, families and staff - who make the difference and are our greatest
strength. This makes our college an outstanding place to learn and to work.
To achieve these great outcomes and prepare our students for their future pathways, there are
many items required to assist with student learning and these include, textbooks (hard copy and
online), consumables, resources and other materials. All of these items are the responsibility of
the parent/guardian and can become extremely costly for families. Therefore, the College has a
Student Resource Scheme (SRS) in place to assist families to reduce these costs. The College
has the ability to bulk-purchase educational items through government-approved supplier
programs, allowing us to provide resources at a reduced rate to what ‘single-purchasers’ can
source. These savings enable us to keep our resource scheme fees as low as possible. The
provision of many of the specialist resources, in these fees, also saves families enormous
amounts of time rather than having to source these specialist items in their already busy lives.
Contribution to the scheme is voluntary and parents/caregivers are under no obligation to join the
scheme. However, if you elect not to join the scheme, you will need to provide all necessary
textbooks, resources and materials for your student for the whole year.
This booklet contains information about the Student Resource Scheme and gives an overview of
the items that are included. Families who join the scheme are offered the option of paying off the
fee in instalments throughout the school year. Payment plans can be established by contacting
our SUBShop.
If you have any questions about the SRS after reading this booklet, please contact the SUBShop.

Student Resource Scheme Information
The Student Resource Scheme has been implemented in this College to ensure that all students have
the necessary resources to support their educational requirements. It is also intended as a convenience
to parents/caregivers to provide a more economical option to purchasing new textbooks, resources and
consumables each year.
Contribution to this scheme is voluntary. Parents/Caregivers are under no obligation to join, however,
they will need to provide all necessary textbooks and purchase and/or pay for resources for the students
if they elect not to join the scheme.
The Student Resource Scheme operates at this College under the policy and guidelines of the
Department of Education (DoE). The Kelvin Grove State College Parents’ and Citizens’ Association
supports and authorises any changes to the Student Resource Scheme at the October meeting. Parents
wishing to take advantage of the resources and services provided by the scheme pay an annual flat fee
as well as any individual subject charges and fees to participate in Excellence programs. Any payment
made overrides the need to enter into a written agreement by signing the attached participation form.
Some subjects studied attract an additional fee. These subjects and their charges are listed at the end
of this booklet. All subject levies are invoiced at the commencement of the school year.
Benefits of participating in the scheme
Students participating in the Student Resource Scheme will be provided with all textbooks required for
each subject. Students participating will also receive many resources and materials required in the course
of their studies.
The scheme does not cover students’ personal requisites such as stationery and writing materials.
Resources not covered under the Student Resource Scheme are included in the Stationery Pack
information available on line from 1 December on the College website.
Government Textbook Allowance
Every eligible student in Years 7 to 12 at Kelvin Grove State College receives financial assistance from
Department of Education to offset the costs of textbooks and resources. This assistance is provided to
the College once per year in the form of a Textbook and Resources Allowance (TRA). The school retains
this allowance to offset the costs to the parents as detailed in the Fees area. Further information is
provided under the Student Resource Scheme Inclusions section of this booklet.
Certain students are not entitled to the TRA, these include Exchange students, Full Fee-Paying Students,
Adult Students (aged 18 years or older) and students from other states enrolling after the cut-off date
(the first Friday in August). The Department encourages schools to provide Student Resource Schemes
to minimise costs to parents.
Parents are required to purchase the stationery items outlined in the relevant year level stationery lists
to start the year and any additional items as advised by class teachers.
3Students enrolling in the Brisbane School of Distance Education or in TAFE courses are required to meet
any costs involved with this enrolment.
Payment Options
There are a number of options for making payment of the participation fees.
• BPOINT. (School CRN 2409000044793) Invoice number and name required.
• In person by EFTPOS or cash at the Sub Shop which is located in the Middle/Senior Campus.
• Phoning the SUBShop and asking for a direct link of the invoice to be sent to your mobile phone
for credit card payment.
• Direct deposit in to the college bank account. If using this option please ensure your student’s ID
number and name are used to allow staff to allocate the payment correctly.

Camp
Information regarding the opening hours for the SUBShop in 2020 is included in this booklet and is also
on our website.
Where students enrol after the commencement of first term, the fees will be reduced on a pro-rata basis.
The calculation will be based on a 40 week school year. The full cost of the ID Card, Homework Diary
and College Journal (Middle and Senior School only) will be payable on enrolment.
Please note that the school, with the approval of the P&C, reserves the right to review and amend fees
at any time.
Financial Difficulties
It is acknowledged that some families can experience financial difficulties. Parents/caregivers in these
circumstances are urged to contact the SUBShop staff to discuss individual payment options. All
discussions will remain confidential.
Non-payment of fees
The school operates the Student Resource Scheme to benefit all eligible students. It is not viable for the
school to provide this service if fees are outstanding. It is for this reason that students may be refused
entry into the scheme if fees are outstanding from the previous year/s.
Students with outstanding fees may be denied the opportunity to participate in non-compulsory school
activities. Students will not be provided with resources until any outstanding fees from previous year/s
have been paid.
Pro Rata Refunds
Students leaving school or transferring to another will be entitled, after receipt of a written request, to a
pro-rata refund of any fees paid to the school and the Textbook and Resources Allowance. The pro-rata
calculation is based on a 40 week school year. Costs for the ID Card, Homework Diary and replacing
any lost or damaged resources will be deducted from the refund. An electronic funds transfer will be
issued to the parent/caregiver within one month of the school being notified the student has left and all
outstanding textbooks are returned.
Action Required:
• Please make payment or complete the Student Resource Scheme Agreement Form 2020 and
return to the Sub Shop by 7 February 2020;
• Invoices for the year level fee will be emailed prior to the commencement of school. To ensure your
student is able to access all textbooks (if applicable) and resources, full payment must be made at
the SUBShop or have established a payment plan before the 7 February 2020; and
• Invoices for individual subject charges will be processed as soon as possible in 2020. Prompt
payment on receipt of the invoices is appreciated.
