As we get closer to welcoming our new Year 7 students to Varsity College in 2027, we would like to share some important information about student resources and equipment to help families prepare for the start of high school.
Student Resource Scheme (SRS)
The Student Resource Scheme (SRS) enables parents to enter into a written agreement with the College to pay a specified annual participation fee in return for access to learning resources.
What does the SRS cover?
The Student Resource Scheme (SRS) may provide access to:
- Prescribed textbooks and readers
- The One2One Laptop Program, school Wi-Fi and other learning resources
- Subject-specific materials and consumables
- Student ID card
The SRS helps ensure students have the resources they need to support their learning throughout the year.
Please note: Families are still responsible for purchasing personal stationery and any other items listed on the Year 7 stationery list, as these are not covered by the SRS.
Should a family choose not to participate in the SRS, the parent/caregiver is responsible for purchasing and providing those resources for their child whilst they are a student at Varsity College.

Year 7 Stationery Lists
Stationery lists are now available on the Varsity College website in readiness for the 2027 school year. Parents have the option of purchasing stationery online and arranging delivery via the College’s stationery supplier or independently sourcing their student’s stationery.
The Year 7 Stationary list can be found here
Ordering online through the College stationery supplier
Parents can order complete stationery packs or select individual stationery items through the EDSCO website: www.edsco.com.au.
Please note the following EDSCO ordering deadlines:
- Friday, 20 November 2026: Deadline for December delivery.
- Friday, 11 December 2026: Deadline for January delivery.
Independently sourcing stationery
Families who prefer to purchase stationery independently can access the relevant Year 7 stationery list on the Varsity College website. These lists can also be used when purchasing items in person at retailers such as Officeworks.
We encourage families to organise stationery before the start of the school year, so students are ready for their first day of learning.
Student Laptops
Year 7 students will receive their laptops in Term 1, Week 2, provided school fees are paid in full, or payment instalments are up to date.
Laptops are an essential learning tool, used to access QLearn, complete classroom activities and to assist with your student’s learning engagement.
Please ensure your child has all required stationery and equipment ready for Day 1 so they can start Year 7 feeling organised and prepared.
