Student Resource Scheme (SRS)
A critical element of providing the very best programs we can for our students at Pacific Paradise State School relates to our Student Resource Scheme. The Student Resource Scheme (SRS) is a service provided by the school to assist parents with a cost effective and easier alternative to purchasing textbooks, resources, consumables and/or materials from elsewhere, through reduced prices gained from the school’s bulk purchasing abilities. The SRS also covers licences for digital apps and platforms, and the use of school purchased equipment for all class activities.
The SRS provides a convenient and good value option for participants and ensures students have access to the same standard and quantity of resources throughout the school year, including personal stationery. The mix of resources that are purchased on your behalf does vary from year level to year level in the school depending on the particular needs of those year levels.
We appreciate that the costs of schooling your children are significant, even in a heavily subsidized state system. For this reason we try to keep the cost of the SRS scheme to a minimum on the basis that if everyone in our school community contributes, we are able to offer exceptional value for money considering the additional learning opportunities these resources provide.
BOOK PACKS
Families are required to provide book packs for students from the Year Level Book Packs attached below:
Prep Bookpack
Year 1 Bookpack
Year 2 Bookpack
Year 3 Bookpack
Year 4 Bookpack

Our team has carefully selected the items on the booklists to match the developmental needs of each year level and to support an engaging curriculum.
We ask that all items be purchased as specified to ensure consistency and readiness in the classroom. Please avoid substituting cheap brands from dollar stores as many of these cheaper versions of products do not have the durability that is required throughout the year. Your co-operation with this is greatly appreciated.
