Camps, Sports and Excursions Fund
The Camps, Sports and Excursions Fund (CSEF) helps ensure that no student misses out on important, educational, and enjoyable school activities. This fund supports the Victorian Government’s commitment to breaking the link between a student’s background and their educational opportunities.
Schools must use CSEF payments for eligible students’ expenses related to:
- School incursions, excursions and camps
- Swimming programs and other school-organised sporting activities
Please note that CSEF cannot be used for voluntary school charges, stationery, school uniforms, music lessons, or other optional items.
Families holding a valid means-tested concession card or who are temporary foster parents may be eligible. The allowance is paid directly to the school to support eligible activities for your child.
Annual CSEF amount per student:
- $400 for primary and secondary students
How to Apply
Applying for the first time: New applicants should contact the school office to obtain a CSEF application form or download the attached form or alternatively visit; www.education.vic.gov.au/csef

You will need to submit a new application if:
Your child is newly enrolled or has changed schools in 2026
There has been a change in family circumstances (e.g. custody, name, concession card details)
New siblings have commenced at the school in 2026
