2024 College Contributions
Heathmont College is looking forward to another great year of teaching and learning in 2024 and advise that the Heathmont College’s voluntary financial contributions for 2024 will be posted via Compass early December. Contributions will sit in your Compass Parent Payment Portal and you can make a ‘one-off’ payment or smaller instalments if you choose.
The ongoing financial support of our families ensures that our school can offer the best possible education and support for our students. All contributions make a huge difference to our school and the programs we can offer.
Extra-Curricular Items & Activities (user-pays) includes the Sports Academy, Instrumental Music, Camps, Excursions ‘any item or activity that are above and beyond what the school provides free to deliver the Curriculum’.

2024 Sports Academy
The Sports Academy Program is an opt-in, extra-curricular program. Once your child has been accepted into the 2024 Program, you will be able to access this charge or set up a ‘Recurring Contribution’ (Payment Instalment Plan) via Compass. More information will come out about this shortly.
Camps, Sports, Excursions Fund (CSEF) 2024
Every Victorian child should have access to the world of learning opportunities that exist beyond the classroom. The Camps, Sports and Excursions Fund (CSEF) will ensure that no student will miss out on the opportunity to join their classmates for important, educational and fun activities.
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. 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 CSEF amount for Secondary School Students has been increased to $250 in 2024.
If your child/children received CSEF in 2023 at Heathmont College, the school will automatically apply on your behalf. If your child is in Year 7 in 2024, are new to the College (any year level) or are recently new to receiving a Health Care Card or similar, please contact the school office to obtain a 2024 CSEF application form or download one from: 2024 CSEF Application Form
Students who received CSEF at their 2023 primary school ($125 per year) and have not used the total amount will have those funds transferred to Heathmont College for future use.
2024 Instrumental Music
Thank you for your support of the 2023 Instrumental Music Program. Instrumental Music will continue in 2024 and remains an opt-in, extra-curricular program, provided by the college and as such, attracts a compulsory charge. Click HERE to access the 2024 Instrumental Music Handbook & Enrolment form.
The office welcomes your questions, suggestions or feedback and we look forward to in 2024.
