Student accident insurance, ambulance cover arrangements and private property brought to school
Parents are reminded that the Department of Education does not provide personal accident insurance or ambulance cover for students. Parents and guardians of students, who do not have student accident insurance/ambulance cover, 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.
Crossing Supervisor
We are still waiting for Kingston Council to appoint a crossing supervisor for the Charman and Balcombe Road intersection.
Camps, Sport & Excursions Fund (CSEF)
The Victorian Government’s Camps, Sports & Excursions Fund (CSEF) is an annual payment to the school to be used towards camps, sports and/or excursion expenses for the benefit of eligible students. To be eligible for the fund, a parent or legal guardian of a student attending the school must hold a valid means-tested concession card or are a temporary foster parent. For secondary school students the payment is $225.
From this year, if you applied for the CSEF at MGSC in 2017, you do not need to complete an application form in 2018. If you are a new student to MGSC or your family circumstances have changed you do need to reapply.
For more information or an application form contact the General Office or visit
Applications are due before the end of term 2. We encourage all parents to make submissions now.
