Camps, Sports & Excursions Fund (CSEF) – 2021 

CSEF is provided by the Victorian Government to assist eligible families with the cost of school camps. If you have a current/valid Centrelink Card (Pension, Healthcare or Veterans Card) and not yet applied for the 2021 funds, please do so as it can be carried forward to the following year.

The closing date for lodging an application is the end of term; the application form should be returned to registrar@brightonsc.vic.edu.au by Wednesday 23rd June. A copy of your valid concession card is also required and can be scanned though. 

See below for the CSEF form.

Student & Family Records

We are required by the DET to maintain current records of students address, family contact details, health & medical information and parent’s education & employment. We endeavour to do this by sending or emailing a copy of the student’s record and request that parents/guardians check, update, sign and return this to us – registrar@brightonsc.vic.edu.au

If students live between two households due to parent separation and you would like individual Compass portals, please email registrar@brightonsc.vic.edu.au and this can be organised.

You are able to update your phone and email details through your Compass portal (go to the cog symbol on the top tight corner and select Update My Details and the following dialogue box will appear, update your details (this generates an automatic email to the college)
