Resource scheme

The purpose of the scheme is to provide a cost effective, value for money alternative to purchasing textbooks, resources, consumables and materials not included on the school’s book and stationery list, through reduced prices gained from the school’s bulk purchasing processes. These include:

• reproduced class workbooks, worksheets and teacher-prepared material

• student material used for classroom projects and investigations

• art and craft supplies in excess of what is provided by school grants

• stationery, writing and drawing equipment in excess of what is requested on book lists

• consumables and cooking materials.

The Student resource scheme has been approved by the Parents and Citizens Association and is managed by the school. The scheme operates under the policy and guidelines of the Department of Education and Training FNM-PR-018: Student Resources Scheme and in accordance with section 51 of the Education (General Provisions) Act 2006.

Participation in the Student resource scheme is voluntary and you are under no obligation to join. Students of families who chose not to contribute are still entitled to participate in classroom activities however, to enable the school to provide the best possible educational outcome for all students; all families are encouraged to participate in the scheme. The cost for participation in the scheme is $40.00. Fees are paid directly into your child’s classroom account to buy essential resources and materials used in his/her classroom.
