Under the Education (General Provisions) Act 2006 (Qld) (Section 50(2)) (Education Act), the cost of instruction, administration and facilities is met by government. However, government funding for schools under the Education Act does not extend to educational resources used or consumed by individual students, for example, textbooks, equipment for personal use and items used/consumed by the student in the classroom. Parents/carers are responsible for supplying these resources to support student learning.
Shailer Park State High School operates a Student Resource Scheme (SRS) which is a fee operated scheme that provides parents/carers with a convenient alternative to individually sourcing student learning resources and materials. The annual participation fee covers the temporary use of student learning resources and materials.
Further information on the SRS and associated forms can be found at on the payments page.
