Camps, Sporting Events, Excursions Funding (CSEF)
CSEF is provided by the Victorian Government to assist eligible families to cover the costs of school trips, camps and sporting activities. If you hold a valid means-tested concession card or are a temporary foster parent, you may be eligible for CSEF. A special consideration category also exists for asylum seeker and refugee families. The allowance is paid to the school to use towards expense relating
to camps, excursions or sporting activities for the benefit of your child.
The annual CSEF payment per eligible primary school aged student is $125.
The annual CSEF payment per eligible secondary school aged student is $225.
HOW TO APPLY?
CSEF application forms are available on Compass. To access them, please click on the Community (people) Icon \ School Documentation \ Parent Information \ CSEF
Please note:
- If you applied for CSEF at your child’s former school, you will need to complete a new application for Armstrong Creek School
- If you applied in 2018 at Armstrong Creek School, you do not need to complete another application
Please contact the office if you are unsure about the process or your eligibility status.
Paying Essential Education Items
These items are to be paid via bPay and payment plans are also available if required. Families will be emailed statements from the school at the beginning of each month which will include any outstanding amounts and bPay details.
Our initiative is to remain a “cash free” environment and reduce the number of banking software (EFTPOS machine) on site. This means that we are unable to process any payments at school so please do not send cash, cheques or credit card details into school with your child.
Paying for Excursions, School Activities or Camps
All permissions and payments for excursions, school activities, camps and incursions will be sent to families via a Compass Event. Families are requested to make payment and sign digital consent per event through COMPASS.
Multiple Permissions
The Multiple Permission Form must be completed by all families attending Armstrong Creek School and are valid for the 2019 school year. Please advise the office immediately should you wish to withdraw \ change your permissions.
The permissions are in relation to Photos, Headlice, Emails, Local Excursions Watching PG Movies and Online Services.
Please submit one form per child via the link below:
