Have you got your hat?

CSEF

The Camps, Sports and Excursions Fund helps eligible families to cover the costs of school trips, camps and sporting activities.

If you have a valid means-tested concession card, such as a Veterans Affairs Gold Card, Centrelink Health Care Card or Pensioner Concession Card, or are a temporary foster parent, you may be eligible. There is also a special consideration category for asylum seeker and refugee families.

Payment amounts this year are $150 for eligible primary school students. Payments are made direct to the school to use towards expenses relating to camps, excursions and sporting activities for the benefit of your child. 

It is important that funding made available in 2024 supports students to participate in school trips, camps and sporting activities this year rather than being held for future years. This funding can also be used in conjunction with any funding accrued from previous years.

If you applied for CSEF through our school last year, you do not need to complete an application form this year, unless there has been a change in your family circumstances.

If you would like to apply for the first time, please contact the school office on 9789 7346 and ask for an application form. 

You can also download the form, and find out more about the program and eligibility, on the Department of Education and Training’s Camps, Sports and Excursions Fund (CSEF) application form (education.vic.gov.au)

The Farm

As we move towards phase 2 of our schools farm redevelopment the LPS Farm Team would love to put together a support group to help setup and maintain our space.

This will mostly be within school hours with all equipment supplied. Jobs include: - gardening - weeding - planting - painting - maintenance of yards - small animal care on occasion - pruning of orchard. We aim to have the school student garden up and running ASAP so that we can get planting on next season's crops. 

Please contact Jaime Humphrey jaime.humphrey@education.vic.gov.au

Credits

Dear Parents,

Over the next few weeks, we will be opening several excursions/incursions for payment on QKR.

We are asking that before you pay for anything can you please call the office on 9789 7346 or email langwarrin.ps@education.vic.gov.au to check for any credits you might have. We have a lot of credits sitting on students’ statements due to the couple of years we were in and out of lockdowns. This is money you have paid but the excursions/incursion didn't go ahead. 

I have had a lot of families think they didn’t have any but when they have contacted us they are pleasantly surprised and have an amount that can be used to towards a current excursion/incursion.

Lost Property

Please remember to label all of your items clearly so we can get them back to you. This includes any sporting equipment, clothing, lunchboxes and drink bottles.
