Student Information/Permission forms

I will be sending home student information packs. Can parents/guardians please review, make any changes necessary or mark "no changes" and return to the school office as quickly as possible.

Some families still need to supply Head lice inspection permission forms, Birth Certificates and/or Immunisation Certificates. You will have a reminder in your pack. We need this information for compliance reasons.

The Miscellaneous Permission form also need to be filled in, signed and returned for 2026.

Extra-Curricular Items and Activities

INFORMATION FOR FAMILIES - FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE CSEF

Every Victorian child should have access to the world of learning opportunities that exist beyond the classroom. The Camps, Sports and Excursions Fund helps ensure that no student will miss out on the opportunity to join their classmates for important, educational and fun activities. It is part of making Victoria the Education State and the Government’s commitment to breaking the link between a student’s financial circumstances and their outcomes.

CAMPS, SPORTS and EXCURSIONS 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 excursions, camps and sporting activities.

If you hold a valid means-tested concession card or support an out of home care student you may be eligible for CSEF. A special consideration category also exists for asylum seeker and refugee families. The allowance is paid directly to the school to use towards expenses relating to camps, excursions or sporting activities for the benefit of your child. Application forms are available at the school Office.

The annual CSEF amount per student is $400 for all school students.
