Camps, Sports & Excursions Fund (CSEF)

Applications are open for the Camps, Sports and Excursions Fund (CSEF). The CSEF helps eligible families cover the cost of school trips, camps and sporting activities.

Payment amounts for eligible families this year have increased to $400 for primary and secondary school students. This is up from $154 and $256 respectively.  Completed applications are to be submitted to the school by Friday 26th June 2026.  Families that have been in receipt of CSEF previously do not need to complete a new application unless there have been changes to family circumstances.

Attendance - Unexplained Absences

Could parents/carers please check their Compass app for any unexplained absences and follow the steps to add an attendance note.  Alternatively, you can contact the office and we can enter an absent note on your behalf.  

Conveyance Allowance

Conveyance allowance is a contribution towards transport costs and is not intended to cover the full cost of transporting children to and from school.

The conveyance allowance may be available to students attending government or non-government schools and:

• travelling by public transport or by private car, motorbike, bicycle or bus, and

• whose nearest school is not serviced by a free school bus provided under the School Bus Program

   

To be eligible for the conveyance allowance a student must reside 4.8km or more from the school/campus they attend. This distance is measured as the shortest practicable route from the student’s residence to the school/campus using all-weather public roads drivable by car.

The Student Conveyance Allowance System (SCAS) assesses this eligibility criteria by:

• determining the shortest route between the student’s address and the school/campus attended (whereas other public mapping tools commonly measure the shortest travel time)

• producing a table showing distances to nearby like schools, for comparison, which assists schools to determine whether the student is attending their nearest school/campus.

The distance measured does not include private driveways.

Applications can be completed using the form below and submitted to the school by the following dates:
