The Queensland Government is implementing a new Back to School Boost, which provides a $100 credit for each primary school student. The $100 credit will be placed on the account of all students enrolled in Prep to Year 6 from the start of the 2026 school year. Please note that the Back to School Boost cannot be used for reimbursement of purchases made at external stores, nor can it be provided as a cash payment to families or students.
Families can choose which costs they use their $100 for throughout the year. For example, families may apply their 2026 Back to school boost towards the cost of the Student Resource Scheme (SRS) or, other school related expenses such as excursions, camps, or extra-curricular activities. To simplify this process, the College will be sending a survey to families to confirm your preferences in advance.
