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 manage school operations).
However, funding does not cover individual student resources such as textbooks, stationery for personal use, or many classroom consumables.
To offer parents a cost-effective solution for acquiring textbooks and resources, Edge Hill State School will operate the Student Resource Scheme (SRS) for 2025. This scheme ensures that all the learning materials your child needs are delivered directly to the classroom for the year. Our bulk buying power allows us to save families time, money, and the hassle of sourcing materials elsewhere. Savings are achieved through the school’s bulk purchasing practices and resource-hiring arrangements. The SRS is not used for fundraising; revenue collected is allocated solely to resources and the operation of the scheme.
By having the majority of students enrolled in the scheme, we ensure that each class is fully equipped from the first day of school, promoting a smooth start and quality learning experiences right from the beginning.
