SIBLING PHOTOS:
Pre-registration must be completed by midday Monday 28th February.
1. To pre-register your sibling photos, please go to https://arphotos.typeform.com/to/TXE2RK1C
2. Enter the name and class of the eldest sibling and details of all children to be included in the photo.
3. Add you email address and submit.
4. The school will be advised of your sibling photo request.
Portrait photos will also be used for the production of student cards. These cards will serve as ID for the college and have also been approved for use by PTV as proof of student status.
Camps, Sports and Excursions Fund
The Camps, Sports and Excursions Fund helps eligible families to cover the costs of excursions, 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 amount is $225 for eligible secondary 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 2022 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. Please note these activities will only take place if they meet COVIDSafe requirements.
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 9401 2599 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 web page or Epping Secondary College website. https://www.eppingsc.vic.edu.au/csef-2022
Check with the school office if you are unsure, and please return completed forms alone with a copy of your Means-tested concession card to the school office as soon as possible.
