Varsity College operates a Student Resource Scheme (SRS) to assist parents in the provision of some resources. Parents are directly responsible for providing the student(s) with textbooks, other resources and a laptop or tablet computer at school. To assist parents, the executive group at Varsity College has chosen to utilise State Government contracts and its bulk buying power to provide parents with a cost-effective alternative to purchasing these resources individually.
The SRS reduces the burden and financial outlay to parents of selecting and purchasing materials and ensures that suitable resources are available for their child.
The SRS enables a parent to enter into a written agreement with the school that, in return for payment of a specified annual participation fee, provides for the participating student's temporary use of prescribed textbooks, access to One2One and other resources and/or for the purchase of consumables and materials for the student's use. Resources other than textbooks and a tablet computer may include, course consumables, reproduced class workbooks and worksheets and teacher prepared material that complement and/or substitute textbooks, student planner and student ID card.
