Late arrivals & Early Departures

Can we kindly ask all parents to please come through the front office if your child is late to school. Students must present to the office to receive a late pass to give to their teacher so they know they have been checked into Compass.

Sometimes students need to be picked up early for an appointment. Students who need to be dismissed early must be picked up from the office. We will call down to your child's class and call them to the office to be signed out.

Camps, Sports and Excursions Fund

https://www.education.vic.gov.au/about/programs/Pages/csef.aspx

Please see the front office for a hard copy of the CSEF form

The CSEF provides payments to assist eligible families to cover the costs of camps, sporting activities and excursions.

Payments are made directly to an eligible student’s school. Schools must use a CSEF payment only for the eligible student and not for that student’s siblings or any other student (except where the eligible student leaves the Victorian education system and there are remaining and unspent funds).

Some common examples of school-organised programs for which a CSEF payment may be used include:

school camps/trips
swimming and other school-organised sporting programs
outdoor education programs
excursions/incursions.

The CSEF payment cannot be used towards:

books
stationery
school uniforms
before/after school care
music lessons
locker hire
classroom and homework materials
graduations and formals
other expenses unrelated to camps, sports or excursions.

Families holding a valid means-tested concession card or temporary foster parents are eligible to apply. A Special Consideration category also exists. Schools can receive applications from families over term one and two.

Families can list more than one student in the one application form if they are attending the same school.
