Financial assistance information for parents

Camps, sports & Excursions Fund (CSEF)

CSEF is provided by the Victorian Government to assist eligible families to help 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. 

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:

• $150 for primary school students
• $250 for secondary school students

How to apply

New applicants should contact the school office to  obtain a CSEF application form or download from the website 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.

School Crossing 

Follow the safe road crossing procedure – STOP, LOOK, LISTEN and THINK.

• STOP one step back from the kerb or shoulder of the road if there is no footpath. 
• LOOK in all directions for approaching traffic. 
• LISTEN in all directions for approaching traffic. 
• THINK about whether it is safe to cross the road – when the road is clear or all traffic has stopped.

Reminder - school fees are now due

This is a reminder to all parents that all overdue fees must be paid in full, or an approved payment plan must be in place before your child can commence each term.  Please contact our Credit Officer, Mrs Maria Koutelas if you cannot finalise your account.  mkoutelas@oakleighgrammar.vic.edu.au

Bus fees 

Just a reminder that you are now billed based on your days booked for the school bus, not your usage. No refunds are available for changes.

If you access NDIS services for your child, the Association for Children with a Disability has informed us of changes to NDIS services during the current restrictions.

Lost property

Please check your child’s school uniform to ensure they have not accidentally taken a peer’s blazer / sport jacket / etc. home with them by mistake.

Please also ensure all of your children’s uniforms are clearly named to ensure the correct uniform is returned to them if found in the playground or taken to lost property at the front of the canteen.

We have several blazers and jumpers that have been left at reception with no name on them. Please visit the front of the canteen or contact reception@oakleighgrammar.vic.edu.au to make an inquiry.
