From the Office Team

Camps, Sports, Excursion Fund (CSEF)

If you hold a valid Health Care Card and have not yet applied for the Camps, Sports, Excursion Fund (CSEF) payment from the Government, we encourage you to do so promptly.

To apply, please contact the school office for the necessary application form. The office will assist by copying your Health Care Card and submitting the application on your behalf. Primary school students are eligible for a payment of $154 to assist with the costs associated with activities such as camps, sports, and excursions.

Please note that the closing date for applications is Friday, 4th July 2025. Unfortunately, we will be unable to process any applications after this date.

Should you have any questions or require further assistance, kindly contact the school office.

Escorting Students to Class

Effective from the start of Term 2, parents and carers will no longer be permitted to accompany their child / children to the classroom during school hours. A reminder that in the event of a late arrival, parents or carers are required to sign in their child at the reception. For families with multiple children, we kindly request that the eldest child take responsibility for escorting their younger sibling to class. Should this not be viable, a member of the office team will then escort the student to their classroom.

This policy is being implemented in accordance with the Child Safety Standards, ensuring the safety of both students and staff while minimising disruption to the learning environment.

We appreciate your understanding and co-operation.

School Saving Bonus

Access to The School Saving Bonus (SSB) program portal in Victoria is set to close on June 30, 2025. After this date, any remaining funds will automatically transfer to your child's school account for use towards school activities. However, processing this transfer may take several weeks if left until the end of June.

To ensure your funds are available for school activities, it's advisable to log into the SSB portal and allocate the balance to the school activities link now. This will allow you to select the SSB credit when making payments through the Compass system, now rather than waiting until mid to late July.

If you need assistance with transferring your SSB funds or have questions about eligible uses, please contact your school's administration team.
