CAMPS, SPORTS & EXCURSIONS FUND (CSEF)

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 student is: $125 for primary school students. 

HOW TO APPLY 

New applicants should complete the attached form or contact the school office to obtain a copy. If you applied for CSEF at GHPS in 2022, 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. Applications need to be submitted no later than 23rd June 2023. Any queries, contact the office.

JUNIOR SCHOOL COUNCIL (JSC)

Over the last couple of weeks, the Year 1-5 students have been busy writing, practising and presenting speeches to nominate themselves as their class JSC.

We have all felt so proud seeing the huge numbers of students nominating for JSC, as well as the confidence, ideas and initiative these students have shown. 

I would like to thank all of the students who presented a speech to their class- I know this is not always an easy thing to do! Thank you for showing ADVENTURE by taking a risk, EFFORT for writing and presenting your speech and the TEAMWORK you will continue to show by supporting your JSC representatives in the future. 

If you are one of these wonderful students who presented a speech to your class, you should feel extremely proud of yourself for putting yourself out there and showing our values, well done.

Unfortunately, as much as we would love to have everyone on our JSC, we needed to choose one representative form each class. So, each class has conducted a vote to choose their JSC representative for 2023, and I am very proud to announce our 2023 JSC representatives below. Congratulations to you all, I look forward to working with you all this year!
