Student Absences

Student absences should be reported to the school on the day of the absence. Parents are reminded that the College has a designated telephone line for notification of student absence – 9571 4178.

There is also an absence proforma in the student planner that parents can complete for the student to return to the General Office on their return to school.

Early Leavers

If your child needs to leave school early you are required to provide a signed note for them to show their year level coordinator and bring down to the General Office when they sign out. Students are not permitted to leave the school early without signing out at the General Office.

Centrepay for Payments

We now support the use of Centrepay. Centrepay is a free voluntary bill paying service. Deductions come directly from your Centrelink payments and can be used to pay many types of bills, such as child care, educations expenses, electricity bills or rent. Please download the form that is available on the school website or contact the

General Office and the form will be emailed to you.

CSEF

The Camps, Sports and Excursions Fund (CSEF) will be 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:

$225 for secondary school students.

How to Apply

Parent Applications for the CSEF close on Friday 23rd June 2017.

XUNO Events and Payments

We have now launched the Events and Payments module on the XUNO Portal. This allows parents and guardians to give electronic permission for their child/ren to attend excursions and incursions and also make an online payment when there is a payment involved.

We will still be able to take payments over the counter and signed forms as is the current process.

To use this module you will need to have your XUNO login and password and a mobile phone to receive a SMS from the system to authorise the event.

Thank you to those parents who have provided feedback on the new system.

Please find below our user guide for XUNO Events and Payments: 

If you have any questions  please contact me Darvell.gabrielle.g@edumail.vic.gov.au or on 03 9571 7838.
