Parent Payment Information
Schools provide students with free instruction to fulfil the standard Victorian curriculum and we want to assure you that all contributions are voluntary. Nevertheless, the ongoing support of our families ensures that our school is able to offer the best possible education and provisions for our students. We want to thank you for all your support, whether that’s through fundraising or volunteering your time. This makes a huge difference to our school and the programs we can offer.
Financial Support for Families
Westall Secondary College understands that some families may experience financial difficulty and offers a range of support options, including:
Camps, Sports and Excursions Fund (CSEF) – Families holding a valid means-tested concession card or temporary foster parents are eligible to apply. Each family receives $225 per year paid for each eligible secondary school student. Payments are made directly to the school and are linked to the student. If you applied last year, you do not need to re-apply unless your circumstances have changed.

a) Full amount at the beginning of Term 1, or
b) Payment at the beginning of each Term (4 instalments), or

Updating Your Contact, Custody and Medical Information
Have you moved house or changed phone numbers?
If so, please remember to fill in a ‘Change of Details’ form (attached below). The form can also be collected from the General Office. Please return this form as soon as possible. It is important that we have your most current details for general purposes and in the case of an emergency. It is also important that you keep your mobile phone and email address details up to date on Compass. This is to ensure you do not miss out on vital information, including student attendance alerts, student report information, curriculum days, etc. Similarly, with emergency contact details, any custody arrangements and medical details, please ensure these are current.
