CSEF applications
Important information and application process
The CSEF is provided by the Victorian Government to assist eligible families to cover the costs of school trips, camps and sporting activities.
The annual CSEF amount per student is:
- $225 for secondary school students
You will only need to submit an application form in 2023 if any of the following changes have occurred:
- new student enrolments: your child has started or changed schools or you did not apply at the same school in a previous year Please contact your previous school for any funds that can be carried over to John Monash Science School.
- changed family circumstances: such as a change of custody, change of name, concession card number, or new siblings commencing at the school in 2023
If a form was not lodged in 2022, parents or legal guardians are required to complete a CSEF application form and lodge it with the school for processing.
Application forms should be completed and lodged with the school as soon as possible in Term One, as payments are made from March onwards.
CSEF payments are for the current application year and cannot be claimed retrospectively for prior years.
Please note the following:
If there is shared custody:
The payment system only allows one application per student. Parents in shared custody situations (who both hold a concession card) must make the decision beforehand who applies for the CSEF at the college on behalf of their children.
The CSEF is for the benefit of the parent who is in receipt of the CSEF.
Closing Date:
Sign and date the form and return it to Reception as soon as possible.
The CSEF program for 2023 closes on the 23rd June 2023.
