Textbook hire schemes

The government pays a textbook and resource allowance on behalf of eligible students to help parents offset the cost of textbooks and other learning materials associated with secondary schooling.

P&C association meetings are the forum for discussion and consultation on a range of issues. To reduce the level of transactions and workload on the P&C, it is recommended that the school administer any hire schemes.

For further information, refer to the detailed guidelines contained in the DOEM policy FR-11: Student Contribution Schemes, Textbook and Resource Hire Scheme, and Textbook and Resource Allowance in State Schools.
