This scheme operates under the Policy & Guidelines of the Department of EducationTraining and Employment FNM-PR-018.$17,955.55 has been collected through the Scheme this year. This represents payment by 74% of our studentpopulation and therefore it is very disappointing that 26% of our student population have not supported theschool in providing resources for their child/children. The money from this Scheme has been used to provide thefollowing resources:-Prep to Year 7 Mathletics and Reading Eggs ICT ProgramsClass workbooks and worksheets which substitute for the purchase of textbooksReading BooksAustralian Curriculum BooksArt & craft supplies, cooking items etc for practical learning experiencesClassroom project materialsStudent reference materials (books, audio/video tapes and software).We hope our 2013 Student Resource Scheme will receive 100% support by parents and caregivers. By notjoining the Scheme you are stating that you will provide these resources for your child/children, however as youcan determine from the list of resources, its purpose is to provide you, the parent, with a cost effective, valuefor money alternative to purchasing textbooks, resources, consumables and materials yourself that are difficultto purchase elsewhere.Payment for the 2013 Scheme can be made during the remainder of this year or before Friday, 22nd February,2013.
