Camps, Sports and Excursions Fund (CSEF) 

The Camps, Sports and Excursions Fund (CSEF) provides part payments for eligible students to attend activities like school camps, swimming and school-organised sport programs or excursions and incursions.

This Government funding is to help ensure government and non-government students from lower-income families are able to participate in camps, sports and excursions each year. 

Families holding a valid means-tested concession card or temporary foster parents are eligible to apply.  Below is a list of some of the means tested cards that are accepted:

• Age Pension (AGE)
• Austudy Payment (AUS)
• Bereavement Allowance (BVA)
• Disability Support Pension (DSP)
• Health Care Card (HCC)
• Concession Card (CC)
• Job Seeker (JSP)
• Newstart Allowance (NSA)
• Parenting Payment (PP)
• Partner Allowance (PTA)

Payments for 2024 are $150 per year for eligible primary school students.

If you are eligible, please provide a Copy of your card to the school office and fill out the attached CSEF Application Form so that we may be able to apply for CSEF.

Students in government schools who are eligible for CSEF are also eligible to receive financial help with the provision of some school uniform items and school shoes through State School Relief.  These orders are placed through the school on your behalf.

Further information can be found at Camps, Sports and Excursions Fund.

Please contact the school office on 9935 9399 if you have any questions or wish to set up a meeting to discuss your financial situation in confidence.

Lost Property

A reminder to please look in Lost Property if your child has lost anything. All clothing, lunchboxes and water bottles are stored on the ground floor outside the library.

Labelled clothing often makes its way back to students, but the best way is to check the Lost Property tub regularly.

Any unnamed clothing items that remain unclaimed at the end the term will be put into sickbay for accidents or donated to the Second-Hand Uniform Shop. All lunchbox containers or water bottles that have not been collected by the last day of term will be thrown out, as these can cause a hygiene risk.

Please remember to label all of your child's property to ensure everything can be returned to the appropriate student. 

Lost Property can be found outside of the library.
