Mount Gravatt State High School operates a Student Resource Scheme, (SRS) including Student Resource Scheme Laptop Program to provide parents/carers with a cost effective alternative to purchasing textbooks, laptops and/or resources.
The objective of the scheme is to provide a convenient and cost-effective way for students to access the educational resources necessary to enhance their learning experience at school.
SRS Benefits
The scheme ensures that students have the resources required for them to engage with the curriculum for their education, and saves parents time and money in sourcing the prescribed materials elsewhere. Savings are gained through the school's bulk purchasing practices and hiring arrangements. The scheme is not used to raise funds for other purposes, and revenue collected through the scheme is applied only to the resources and operation of the scheme.

Textbook and Resource Allowance (TRA)
The Department of Education provides a Textbook and Resource Allowance (TRA) to assist parents with the cost of textbooks and other education resources for eligible Years 7 to 12 students. For those students who are eligible to receive the TRA, the TRA will be paid directly to the school and applied to reduce the cost of participation in the SRS. Information on the TRA and rates can be found on the department's website.
