The purpose of this scheme is to ensure that all students have the necessary resources for their education. The scheme will save parents/caregivers money and the need to shop for Schoolbooks and other resources. The scheme provides the following package for a set fee. It is not available in part.

In return for a hiring fee the scheme provides:
  • Hire of all textbooks and class sets
  • All printed class notes, excluding colour photocopies and student’s personal photocopying
  • Student Organiser / Student ID Card / School Magazine
  • The provision and maintenance of large equipment items such as School boats/marine equipment
  • Audio Visual equipment
  • Provision and maintenance of computers and associated peripherals such as printers/scanners etc.
  • Materials used for classroom projects
  • Invitations to Senior Formal and Year Level Socials

THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS APPLY TO THE SCHEME

  • Students will supply their own personal requirements – as per appropriate year level Stationery Requirements list.
  • Certain subjects will attract an additional fee. Please refer to the Parent Caregiver Consent form, which details these amounts.
  • Students may be responsible for the full cost of books and resources that are negligently damaged or lost before any further issues can be made.
  • The Head of Department should be immediately notified of the loss or damage of any textbook or resource.
  • All textbooks and resources provided under the scheme remain the property of the School and must be returned when a student leaves or at the end of the School year.
