Student Resource Package – School Specific Programs

Policy

This policy provides information about how funding is allocated to schools through the Student Resource Package (SRP) for school specific programs.

Details

‘School-based funding’ is one of three categories of funding provided for by the SRP. Funding for ‘school specific programs’ is one type of school-based funding provided to schools. The other type of school-based funding is Funding for School Infrastructure.

School-based funding provides for school infrastructure and programs specific to individual schools.

The Guidance tab provides information about each of the following types of funding for school-specific programs:

• P12 Complexity Allowance
• Location Index Funding
• MARC/MACC Teachers
• Instrumental Music Programs
• Language Assistants Program
• Bus Coordination
• Country Area Program Grant
• MARC/MACC Grant
• Alternative Settings Teachers
• Ancillary Settings Teachers
• Alternative programs – regional grants
• Joint Community Program
• Designated Bilingual Programs
• Science and Technology

Not all types of funding are available to all schools. Funding is assessed according to school and student needs. The majority of items allocated are based on regional office advice.

Schools are expected to use SRP funds for the purpose for which it was allocated.

For more general information on the SRP, please refer to the Student Resource Package – Overview page.
