Administration

Thank you!

This morning, our office was treated to a delicious breakfast of bacon and egg muffins, kindly prepared by Clontarf. It was a much appreciated treat on a chilly morning!

A big thank you to Ahren, Zaniel, Hamish, and Ashton — the muffins were absolutely delicious!

Governor-General

As part of her tour of our College, Her Excellency the Honourable Ms Sam Mostyn AC, Governor-General of the Commonwealth of Australia, visited our office to say hello.

It was a pleasure for our staff to have the opportunity to meet her, and we truly appreciated the warm acknowledgment she gave of all the hard work that goes into running our school. Her kind words were both encouraging and appreciated.

CSEF - Camps Sports and Excursion Fund

Every Victorian child should have access to the world of learning opportunities that exist beyond the classroom. The Camps, Sports and Excursions Fund helps ensure that no student will miss out on the opportunity to join their classmates for important, educational and fun activities. 

School camps provide children with inspiring experiences in the great outdoors. Excursions encourage a deeper understanding of how the world works while sports teach teamwork, discipline and leadership.  All are a part of a healthy curriculum.

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. A special consideration category also exists for asylum seeker and refugee families. The allowance is 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 is:

• $154 for primary school students
• $256 for secondary school students

HOW TO APPLY

New applicants should contact the school office to  obtain a CSEF application form or click on the button below:

If you applied for CSEF at your child's school last year, you do not need to complete an application form this year unless there has been a change in your family circumstances. 

You only need to complete an application form if any of the following changes have occurred:

• new student enrolments: your child has started or changed schools this year.

• changed family circumstances: such as a change of custody, change of name, concession card number, or new siblings commencing this year.

Check with the school office if you are unsure
