About the Student Resource Package

The SRP Framework

Funding allocations

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

Schools receive their Student Resource Package and relevant updates each year according to the following cycle:

Indicative Student Resource Package - issued in September or October of the preceding year using enrolment projections advised by schools.  This budget provides a basis for planning.

Confirmed Student Resource Package - issued in March of the budget year, based on the annual enrolment census.

Revised Student Resource Package (where applicable) - may be issued for updates or changes during the year, for example following audit corrections to the census or as a result of integration student mobility.
