Parent Information pack for how to pay and plan can also be found by Clicking Here.​

Please ensure you return your Participation Agreement Form ​or make an initial payment to confirm your participation in the scheme for 2025 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:

• Year 7 & 8 Fee Matrix
• Year 9 Fee Matrix
• Year 10 Fee Matrix
• Year 11 & 12 Fee Matrix​​

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 a​​nd 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.
