There is also an absence proforma in the student planner that parents can complete for the student to return to the General Office on their return to school.
Early Leavers
If your child needs to leave school early you are required to provide a signed note for them to show their year level coordinator and bring down to the General Office when they sign out. Students are not permitted to leave the school early without signing out at the General Office.

Camps, Sports & Excursions Fund (CSEF)
The 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. A special consideration category also exists for asylum seeker and refugee families. The allowance is paid to the school to use towards expenses relating to camps, excursions or sporting activities for the benefit of your child.
The annual CSEF amount per student is $225 for secondary school students.
Please find attached the CSEF application form.
If you applied for the CSEF here at GEC in 2020, you do not need to complete an application form in 2021 unless there has been a change in your family circumstances (such as a change of custody, change of name, concession card number, or new siblings commencing at the school in 2021).
You only need to complete an application form if you are new to GEC in 2021 or you did not apply in 2020.
Please contact the General Office on 9571 7838 if you have any questions.
