If you have any queries or wish to discuss your circumstances and possible options, please contact the office to make an appointment with the Business Manager or the Principal.

All parent payments can be made by Compass (preferred method), cash, and cheque or debit/credit card at the school’s office. We request payment by the 12 February 2021 for payment in full, or 1st instalment to be paid by the 12 February 2021, with the 2nd instalment to be paid by 26 March 2021, 3rd instalment 14 May 2021, and 4th instalment to be paid by the 25 June 2021.

2021 CSEF (Camps, Sport & Excursions Fund)

Please note that if you applied for CSEF last year you do not need to reapply this year. However, if you have transferred from another school, you will need to reapply for the funding.

Eligibility

On the first day of term one (28th January 2021) or the first day of term two (19 April 2021), a parent or legal guardian of a student must:

be an eligible beneficiary of one of these cards:

Veterans Affairs Gold Card

Centrelink Health Care Card

Pensioner Concession Card

OR they must be a temporary foster parent

OR the student is 16 years or older and holds a valid concession card (such as a Youth Allowance Health Care Card)

AND the parent or legal guardian must submit an application by the due date.

Parents who receive a carer allowance on behalf of a child, or any other benefit or allowance not income tested by Centrelink, are not eligible for the CSEF unless they also comply with the above.

Eligibility will be determined when the parent’s concession card successfully validates with Centrelink on either the first day of term one or term two.

If the eligible card is in the name of the student, the fund is only granted to that student, not their siblings.
