Student Information/Permission forms

I am still waiting on some "Student Information Forms" and "Miscellaneous Permission Forms" and "Headlice Inspection" Forms to be returned as well as reminders to some families for Birth Certificates and/or Immunisation records. Could these also be returned as quickly as possible as we need the most current information for our records.

CAMPS, SPORTS & EXCURSIONS FUND (CSEF)

FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE INFORMATION FOR PARENTS

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 background and their outcomes.

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 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. The allowance is paid 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:

• $154 for primary school students

To be eligible for the fund a parent or carer of a student attending a registered government or non-government Victorian primary or secondary school must:

• on the first day of Term 1; or

• on the first day of Term 2.

   

• Be an eligible beneficiary within the meaning of the State Concessions Act 2004, that is, 

  • be a holder of Veterans Affairs Gold Card or 

  • be an eligible Centrelink Health Care Card (HCC) or 

  • Pensioner Concession Card (PCC) holder; or

• Be a temporary foster parent; and

• Submit an application to the school by the due date.

HOW TO APPLY

New applicants should contact the school office to  obtain a CSEF application form.

If you applied for CSEF at your child's school last year, you do not need to complete an application form this year unless there has been a change in your family circumstances. 

You only need to complete an application form if any of the following changes have occurred:

• new student enrolments: your child has started or changed schools this year.

• changed family circumstances: such as a change of custody, change of name, concession card number, or new siblings commencing this year.

Application forms are available at the office. See Kerrie
