Student resources

This page includes important information about the fees and inclusions for the Student Resource Scheme (SRS).

What is provided by the Queensland Government?

The Queensland Government supports children's education by providing funding for instruction (teachers), facilities (school grounds and buildings, internet) and administration (staff to run the school). Funding for schools does not extend to student resources such as online subscriptions, apps, equipment, stationery, arts and craft materials that are used by individual students. The Student Resource Scheme has been initiated by the Arundel State School Council and the scheme's operation, resource inclusions and participation fees are approved by the Arundel State School P&C Association at a meeting held every October.

Student Resource Scheme

All families to participate in our school's SRS. Due to the bulk buying power available to us as a large school, this scheme offers great value for money. Participating in the SRS enables our students to have the same quality classroom resources as others. It is a much more affordable way of accessing the online learning programs required for classroom work. These on line programs listed below have been carefully selected by our expert teaching staff to enhance your child's learning. Aligned to the Australian Curriculum, these products provide a fun and engaging way to interact with their year levels' core content.

If you have already opted into the SRS this year, or in previous years, it is assumed that for the remainder of your child's enrolment, you will continue to participate in the scheme.

If you are a new parent to the school, or you have not completed an SRS Participation Agreement Form (PAF) previously, please complete a PAF form (available on the Arundel State School website) and return to the office as soon as possible.

Parents may opt out of the scheme by completing a new PAF form and selecting the opt out option, at the beginning of a school year. If you choose to opt out, you will need to ensure your child is provided with the required resources (below), including access to the online learning. If in the event you wish to opt out, you will be required to contact each of the suppliers to arrange an account. Parents will need to access the list of required classroom resources from our website, or office and purchase items individually. These resources are required to be given to your child's class teacher by 19/3/26.

Fees

A variety of payment options are available for the SRS, including:

• A single payment of $85 for the full year, which is due 26/2/26; or
• In instalments as follows: $35 by 19/2/26; $35 by 5/3/26; and $15 by 19/3/26.
• F​lexible instalment plans can also be arranged to suit your financial needs with final payment due 19/3/26​​. To set up a suitable payment plan, I would encourage you to contact the school office early in 2026 so that you meet the due dates for payment. Invoices for the 2026 SRS will be issued to all families in Week 1.
