SRS
Information
The Flat Fee Core Curriculum Student Resource
Scheme (SRS) Participation Agreement form has been provided to parents upon enrolment, and all current enrolled students parents/caregivers have been invoiced for the SRS Flat Fee
Core Curriculum fee. A Resource List is available from the College Administration Building
or you can access one by clicking on the relevant year level link - Year 7, Year 8, Year 9, Year 10, Year 11, Year 12. Parent Information packs for how to pay and plan can also be found by clicking on the relevant year level link to assist with you with your child's fees and charges- Year 7, Year 8, Year 9, Year 10, Year 11 and Year 12.
Please ensure you return your
Participation Agreement Form or make an initial payment to confirm your
participation in the scheme for 2024 on or before the due date. This will
ensure that your child will have resources available in readiness for the
commencement of the new school year (your child will be issued with their
pencil case at the commencement of the school year). It will also mean
that every child has resources to engage with the curriculum. The SRS offers substantial savings to parents. Also available is the Resource
Intensive Subject Fee Matrix for either the Year 7 & 8, Year 9, Year 10 or Year 11 & 12 Resource Intensive SRS that fall outside of the Flat Fee Core Curriculum Student Resource
Scheme. The lists for these can be found in the document store under the 2024 SRS Information folder.
The Colleges’ Student Resource Scheme (SRS)
is not a voluntary scheme once a parent has indicated they wish to participate.
Parents are directly responsible for providing their child with textbooks and
other resources for use while attending the College. As a service to assist parents
with the cost of these educational resources, the College operates a student
resource scheme with the support of the P&C. The purpose of the scheme is
to provide parents with a cost effective alternative to purchasing textbooks,
resources, consumables and / or materials from elsewhere, through reduced
prices gained from the College’s bulk purchasing process.
Before a student can be considered for
participation in a non-compulsory College activity, a parent who has joined the
scheme is expected to have fully paid the student resource scheme participation
fee; or paid the participation fee up to and including the term in which the
school activity takes place; or has made regular on-going payments towards the
schemes annual participation fee by entering into a Payment Plan with the
College. Those parents/caregivers who have entered into this agreement are
under an obligation to pay any fees and/or surcharges in exchange for the use
of certain resources. Some examples of non-compulsory College activities or
programs are interschool sports, excursions, camps, Senior Jersey and the Year
12 Formal. Alternate programs will be provided at the College for students who do not attend excursions. Please email Payments@murrumbassc.eq.edu.au if you would like information in relation to CentrePay / Payment Plans sent home. Your support for our Student Resource Scheme is greatly
appreciated to ensure that it remains viable for the College to offer this
service.
You can find the list of text provided
through the scheme on this webpage by clicking on the year level links above. A full
review of the SRS Core Curriculum Flat Fee and the SRS Resource Intensive
Subject Fees is completed each year in readiness for the following year. The rationale of
how the review outcomes were to be implemented is presented and endorsed by
the P&C Association and the School Council to demonstrate transparency by
the administration team in relation to all fees and charges at the College.
The College offers several payment options to
all families, these options are listed in the information package. A parent,
who does not wish to join the SRS, is responsible for providing their child
with the items on this list that would otherwise have been provided by the
scheme to enable their child to engage with the curriculum. Many
families who joined the SRS took the opportunity to use the CentrePay service
or entered into payment plans throughout the year as per the published dates on
the form. If you do not wish to join the scheme the list of text and
resources you will need to purchase can be found above in the links for each year level, or you may request a printed list from the
office. Please ensure you send the form back to the office as soon as possible
indicating your intention.

REFUNDS
A College
fee is directed to the purpose for which it is charged. College fees for
excursions and camps are calculated on a cost recovery only basis, according to
the number of students who have indicated their attendance. Participation of
students in an excursion or camp is indicated through payment of the excursion
or camp fee and provision of a permission form completed by the
parent/caregiver.
As the
College budget cannot meet any shortfalls in funding for an excursion or camp
due to the subsequent non‐participation of a student who had previously
indicated attendance of the activity, fees already paid for an excursion or
College camp may be refunded in full or in part or not at all, having regard to
the associated expenses incurred and the circumstances of the
non‐participation. Fees are calculated as close as possible to the expenses
related directly to the excursion/incursion/camp but at times a deficit or
surplus of funds can occur. With the support of the Colleges Parent and
Citizens Association, in the event of this occurring where the amount is under
$20.00 per student the funds will be redirected into the program area that the
excursion/incursion/camp is linked to e.g. English, Math’s etc.; when there is
a deficit the program area will cover the shortfall from their individual
faculty budgets.
If a
parent/caregiver wishes to apply for a refund due to their child’s
non‐participation in an excursion or camp activity prior to the cut‐off date
for refunds, they may do so by completing a Request for Refund form available from the
College office. Where possible, the request should include the receipt relating
to the payment for which a refund is being sought. It is preferred that refunds
be made as a credit against the student’s account at the College, and used for
any cost in the future.
