CSEF Applications are now open for 2026.
The Camps, Sports and Excursions Fund (CSEF) provide payments for eligible students to attend activities like school camp or trips, swimming and school organised sport programs, outdoor education programs and/or excursions and incursions.
Parents with an eligible government Pension, Veteran Affairs or Health Care Card can apply.
If you have already claimed CSEF at Emerson, you will not need to re-apply in 2026.
2026 Youth MYKI Card
During 2026, select students will participate in the Travel Education Program. Students will travel on PTV and require a MYKI card.
$5.00 annual Youth MYKI cards are available to all students under 18 years old. Families will be required to purchase a MYKI card for each child.
Click on the following Youth Myki link to purchase the MYKI online, OR, go to a manned Train Station to purchase the card. Once purchased, all travel is FREE. If you order the MYKI online the Myki card will be posted to your home with your child’s name printed on the card. This saves confusion of who the card belongs to.
If you are having any challenges with buying a MYKI card or registering the MYKI please email Christine.marlow@education.vic.gov.au and I would be happy to make a time to assist you.
Remember to check the Compass portal for permissions for your child to attend excursions. Compass keeps all information current which is best for your child for medical information, emergency contacts, etc. Compass makes it quick and easy for parents and staff. Please ask the office if you need help using Compass.
