CSEF

I would like to remind you that the deadline for Camps Sports and Excursions Fund (CSEF) applications is approaching on 28 June 2024.

If you possess a healthcare card or pension card, you may meet the criteria for eligibility to apply for the CSEF.

The Camps, Sports and Excursions Fund aims to ensure that every student has the opportunity to participate in important, educational, and enjoyable activities with their peers. School camps provide valuable outdoor experiences, excursions enhance understanding of the world, and sports promote teamwork, discipline, and leadership skills - all essential components of a well-rounded curriculum.

The Victorian Government is providing the CSEF to support qualifying families with the expenses associated with sporting trips, camps, and sports initiatives. If you currently hold a Health Care card, please approach Audrey in the office to obtain the necessary 2024 CSEF form.Payment amounts

Payments for 2024 are:

Community Pantry

Everyone is welcome to help themselves.

 

 

Uniform

Lost uniforms can be found in the main office area in the designated blue baskets. It is important to make sure that your child's uniform is clearly labeled with their name. This helps ensure that any lost items can be easily returned to the correct student. Thank you for your cooperation.

 

Absences

Timely notification of student absences is crucial. If your child is unable to attend school, please ensure you notify the school before 9:30am on the day of the absence. This can be done by logging the absence into the Compass system or by calling the school directly at 59647783. Thank you for your cooperation.
