Payment for these schemes can be made by BPOINT or EFTPOS, once the invoice has been received in early 2025. Cost to be advised.
Student Resource Scheme (SRS)
To provide parents with a cost-effective alternative to purchasing textbooks and/or resources elsewhere, Sherwood State School operates a SRS for 2025. The scheme ensures that students have the resources required for them to engage with the curriculum for their education, and saves parents time and money in sourcing the prescribed materials elsewhere. Savings are gained through the school's bulk purchasing practices and hiring arrangements. The scheme is not used to raise funds for other purposes, and revenue collected through the scheme is applied only to the resources and operation of the scheme.
The objective of the scheme is to provide a convenient and cost-effective way for students to access the educational resources necessary to enhance their learning experience at school. The Department encourages parents to participate in the scheme. Participation in the SRS is optional, and no obligation is placed on a parent to participate. Participation is for the duration of your child's enrolment at the school. Please note that the SRS is separate to the booklist for each year level.
