Camps Sport Excursion Fund (CSEF)
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 primary school student is $150.
If you received CSEF in 2023 you do not need to apply again, however if you are new to Greenhills and have a valid concession card or have an additional child (eg Prep) that commenced, please complete the attached form (available from the office too) and hand into the office with a copy of your concession card. Any queries please don’t hesitate to contact the office. Here is the link to complete the form :
CANTEEN
Dear Greenhills Families,
After many years without any price increases to our canteen menu, School Council have recently reviewed our pricing and have identified the following items to be increased from the start of Term 3, 2024.
We apologise for any inconvenience this causes but the canteen has been making a growing loss for some time and to turn this around we are implementing these price changes. We do not look to make a profit on canteen, but merely make it a cost neutral program of the school.
Menu Item | Old Price $ | New Price $ |
| Meat Pie | 4.50 | 5.20 |
| Corn on the cob | 1.00 | 1.50 |
| Strawberry and Chocolate milk | 2.00 | 2.80 |
| Slushies | 2.00 | 2.50 |
| Zooper Doopers | 0.50 | 0.80 |
| Juice cups | 0.50 | 0.80 |
| Moosies | 1.50 | 2.00 |
| Yogurt and topping | 1.50 | 2.00 |
| Potato stix | 1.00 | 1.20 |
| Wednesday Wonders | 5.50 | 6.00 |
Over the next couple of months School Council in conjunction with Miriam will be looking further at the canteen operations and menu.
Wednesday Wonders are available to order on QKR - Orders need to be placed by the previous Wednesday
Spaghetti bolognaise - 5th June
Mac & Cheese - 12th June
