CAMP, SPORT AND EXCURSION FUNDING (CSEF)

CSEF will be 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 concession card or are a temporary foster parent, and you submit an application to the school by the due date, you may be eligible for CSEF.  The allowance will be 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 will be $154 for primary school students.

Applications must be submitted by 4 July.  Application forms are available at the Office. If you have any queries, please reach out to sarah.mcdonell@education.vic.gov.au

Visitors to School

A gentle reminder that all visitors to the school (including parents and carers) during school hours for all purposes are required to sign-in at the office and sign-out upon exiting the school premises. Please call the school ahead at the gate prior to entering.

Parking Reminder

Just a reminder that the Council regularly enforces parking signs and restrictions in the streets surrounding our school.   To avoid being fined, please observe all parking signs.  For the safety of all, it is also important that parents do not use the staff car parks at both the front and rear of the school for drop off or collection of students.
