There are three Student Resource Schemes operated by Kingaroy State High School:
-SRS Textbook and Resources ($220/year)
-One-to-One Device ($300/year)
-Instrumental Program ($30/year)
All three are user-charging schemes operated by the school to provide parents with a mechanism to access individual student
resources and a device, which are not funded by the government. The One-to-One Device scheme allows participants the use of a school owned
device which is loaned to the individual student for the duration of the agreement – up to three years. Government funding for schools does
not extend to individual student resources and equipment for their personal use or consumption. Supply of these items, such as textbooks and
personal laptops/iPads etc is the responsibility of the parent.
The objective of the schemes is to provide parents a convenient and cost-effective alternative to the individual supply of textbooks, resources
and a device for their students. Participation in these schemes is optional and no obligation is placed on the parent to participate. Parents not
participating in the schemes must provide their student with all items that would otherwise be provided by the schemes as detailed in the
information provided by the school. Parents can choose to join the schemes in future years by completing a new Participation Agreement Form.
Parents pay the annual participation fee in accordance with the selected scheme and the selected payment arrangement of either, payment in
full or an agreed payment plan. If a student joins the school mid-year, a pro-rata participation fee may apply. Terms and conditions for
participating in the schemes are provided on the reverse side of the form. Information is also provided on the Textbook and Resource Allowance
(TRA) where applicable
Computers and Technology
Kingaroy State High School has a range of programs and policies, which support the use of information and communication technologies (ICTs) at school. We aim to have all students functioning efficiently as 21st Century learners and citizens. The world reliance on technology is ever increasing and the ability to use technology is becoming ever more important in the workforce. In order to support learners in developing these skills, Kingaroy State High School is has the option of BYOD or participation in the One to One Device Scheme, with an expectation that every student will bring a device to school that meets the minimum specification to enhance their learning.
Families that are unable to provide a device for their child are requested to make an appointment with either the Principal or Junior School Deputy Principal to discuss options. For additional information parents can email BYOD@kingaroyshs.eq.edu.au
