Need Help with School Uniforms or Essential School Items?

At Le Page Primary School, we understand that families can sometimes face financial challenges. We want to ensure that every student can attend school feeling comfortable, confident and ready to learn.

Through State Schools' Relief (SSR), assistance may be available for families experiencing financial hardship or unexpected circumstances. Support can include essential school items such as:

School polo shirts and jumpers
Pants, shorts and dresses
School shoes
Hats
Socks and underwear
School bags
Swimwear
Other educational essentials where required

State Schools' Relief supports Victorian government school students whose families may be experiencing financial difficulties due to circumstances such as unemployment, illness, family crisis, bereavement, homelessness, domestic violence, natural disasters, or other significant hardships. Assistance is provided confidentially and on a needs basis through the school.

In some circumstances, State Schools' Relief may also be able to assist eligible students with optical support through glasses vouchers, helping families access prescription glasses where required.

If you feel your family may benefit from this support, please contact Brooke Brooke.Sheppard@education.vic.gov.au or in the school office for a confidential conversation. All enquiries are treated with sensitivity and discretion, and we are happy to discuss the options available and assist with any applications.

At Le Page Primary School, we believe every child deserves access to the items they need to fully participate in school life. If you need support, please reach out – we are here to help.

FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE

Every Victorian child should have access to the world of learning opportunities that exist beyond the classroom. The Camps, Sports and Excursions Fund helps ensure that no student will miss out on the opportunity to join their classmates for important, educational and fun activities. It is part of making Victoria the Education State and the Government’s commitment to breaking the link between a student’s financial circumstances and their outcomes.

CAMPS, SPORTS and EXCURSIONS FUND (CSEF)

School camps provide children with inspiring experiences in the great outdoors. Excursions encourage a deeper understanding of how the world works while sports teach teamwork, discipline and leadership. All are a part of a healthy curriculum.

CSEF is provided by the Victorian Government to assist eligible families to cover the costs of school excursions, camps and sporting activities.

If you hold a valid means-tested concession card or support an out of home care student you may be eligible for CSEF. A special consideration category also exists for asylum seeker and refugee families. The allowance is paid directly to the school to use towards expenses relating to camps, excursions or sporting activities for the benefit of your child.

The annual CSEF amount per student is $400 for all school students.

Late Arrivals & Early Departures

Can we kindly ask all parents to please come through the front office if your child is late to school. Students must present to the office with a parent to be signed in via the Compass Kiosk to receive a late pass to give to their teacher.

Sometimes students need to be picked up early for an appointment. Students who need to be dismissed early must be picked up from the office. We will call down to your child's class and call them to the office to be signed out.
