CAMPS, SPORTS & EXCURSIONS FUND (CSEF)
School camps provide children with inspiriting 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 familites.
The allowance is paid to the school towards expenses relating to camps, excursions or sporting activities for the benefit of your child. The annual CSEF amount per student is: $150 for primary school students and $250 for secondary school students.
How to apply:
New applicants should contact the office to obtain a CSEF application form or download from https://www.education.vic.gov.au/PAL/CSEF-application-form.docx
If you applied for CSEF last year you do not need to complete a new application form unless there has been a change in your family circumstances. Please check with Betty Horan (Business Manager) on 9459 0732 if you are unsure of any of the above details.
General Reminders:
- School hats are compulsory from the end of August until the end of April each year.
- Please name all school clothing. We can return lost property if it is clearly named.
- Icy-poles are $1 each on Thursdays in term 1 and 4.
- All student mobile phones and smart watches must be handed to the teacher each morning (as per the DET policy)
- We are still needing lots of parent helpers for lunch orders, icy poles and lost property. Please add your name into the following document if you're able to help: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Pq656iPbhV5_J6SSZKdKUirIGd2U8QG1p0Afu2uIIiI/edit?usp=sharing
