Student Resource Package – Overview

Funding Allocation and Annual Budget Cycle

The SRP framework is based on funding allocations and the annual budget cycle.

Funding allocations

Funds allocated in each component are nominated as either credit, for salaries paid on eduPay, or cash for expenses incurred locally. Schools can interchange funding between credit and cash.

Funds are allocated against the components of the SRP:

• student-based funding (core student learning allocation and equity)
• school-based funding (school infrastructure and school-specific programs)
• targeted initiatives.

The funds allocated in each component are nominated as either:

• credit for salaries paid on eduPay
• cash for expenses incurred locally.

Schools can interchange funding between credit and cash.
