Tully State High School offers a Student Resource Scheme (SRS) to all students.
The Queensland Government supports students' education by providing funding for:
- Instruction, e.g. teachers
- Facilities, e.g. buildings, amenities, furniture
- Administration, e.g. staffing and resources to administer the operations of the school.
Funding does not extend to individual student resources such as textbooks, equipment for personal use, and items used/consumed by the student in the classroom. Supply of these items is the responsibility of parents.
To provide parents with a cost-effective alternative to purchasing textbooks and/or resources elsewhere, Tully State High School operates an 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 scheme's operation, resource inclusions and participation fees were approved by the school's P&C Association at the meeting held on 15 August, 2024.
SRS Participation
The objective of the scheme is to provide a convenient and cost-effective way for students to access the educational resources. 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.
If a parent has opted out of the scheme the parent is required to provide the educational resources list in the SRS for their child by the start of the school year. This information is available upon request to the school and on the schools' website.
