2026 Curriculum Contributions – A HUGE thank you to families who contributed to this years Parent Payments, and who have already contributed to the 2026 payments!!! We appreciate your support, which plays an important role in enhancing the College and enriching our students’ educational experience.
2026 Curriculum Contributions will sit in your Compass Parent Payment Portal and you can make a ‘one-off’ payment, chose one of the many Instalment options or make smaller instalments during the year, if you choose.
Extra-Curricular Items & Activities (user-pays) includes the Sports Academy, Instrumental Music, Camps, Excursions and/or ‘any item or activity that are above and beyond what the school provides free to deliver the Curriculum’.
2026 Camps/Sports/Excursions Fund (CSEF) - Every Victorian child should have access to the world of learning opportunities that exist beyond the classroom. The Camps, Sports and Excursions Fund (CSEF) helps ensure that no student will miss out on the opportunity to join their classmates for important, educational and fun activities.
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.
If your child is new to Heathmont College in 2026, or if there has been a change in your family circumstances, please complete an application form: 2026 CSEF Application Form and submit it with a copy of your Health Care Card (must be valid as at start of Term 1,2026.
From 1 January 2026, families eligible for CSEF will see an increase in support to $400 for primary and secondary school children, up from $154 and $256 respectively.
2026 State School Relief (SSR) - Applications for the 2026 Year 7 uniform package, for CSEF recipients, will open from Monday 6 October 2025. Click here: 2026 SSR Year 7 Application Form
Please note that hardcopies of the above Forms are available at the Office, if required.
School Saving Bonus – The SSB funding has been a great support to families. This will not be repeated in 2026. All credit remaining has now reverted to use against school activities (Events/Excursions/Incursions). You can now click to ‘USE SSB CREDIT’ (if you have it available) in the actual Compass Event.
Please be aware that due to strict guidelines, credit can only be used against Excursions/Incursion and Camps. Any unused portion of SSB will carry over to 2026 and beyond and to siblings at the school.
If you have any questions regarding SSB, please ring Sandra on 9871 4888 (Mon/Tue/Thurs) or view: school.saving.bonus@education.vic.gov.au
