Beleza

Due to the SSB rollout, uniform supplies have been low with some items currently out of stock. We have been advised that jackets will be delivered in the next couple of days. There is minimal stock of hats b these should also be restocked early next week.

Ambulance Victoria

Do you have ambulance cover?

Parents need to be aware that the school and the Department of Education do not carry insurance or ambulance cover against student injury/accident or personal property.

A number of private companies offer such insurance to individual families at very reasonable rates.

A family Victorian Ambulance membership is approximately $107 per year.

The Department has asked that the following statement be made available to parents:

Parents/carers of students, who do not have student accident insurance, are responsible for paying the cost of medical treatment for injured students, including the cost of ambulance attendance or transport as well as any other transport costs; and

Parents/carers can purchase insurance policies from commercial insurers.

The Department does not hold insurance for personal property brought to schools and has no capacity to pay for any loss or damage to such property, students should be discouraged from bringing any unnecessary or particularly valuable items to school.

SCHOOL SAVING BONUS

Allocating SSB to the school for activities:

If you want to use your SSB for activities, excursions, camp, incursions you will need to allocate the SSB to the school.

How to allocate the SSB to school:

CSEF

The Camps, Sports and Excursions Fund helps eligible families to cover the costs of school trips, camps and sporting activities.

If you have a valid means-tested concession card, such as a Veterans Affairs Gold Card, Centrelink Health Care Card or Pensioner Concession Card, or are a temporary foster parent, you may be eligible. There is also a special consideration category for asylum seeker and refugee families.

Payment amounts this year are $154 for eligible primary school students. Payments are made direct to the school to use towards expenses relating to camps, excursions and sporting activities for the benefit of your child.

It is important that funding made available in 2025 supports students to participate in school trips, camps and sporting activities this year rather than being held for future years. This funding can also be used in conjunction with any funding accrued from previous years.

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

If you would like to apply for the first time, please contact the school office on 9789 7346 and ask for an application form.

You can also download the form, and find out more about the program and eligibility, on the Department of Education and Training’s Camps, Sports and Excursions Fund (CSEF) application form (education.vic.gov.au)
