CAMPS, SPORTS & EXCURSIONS FUND (CSEF) 2023

School camps provide children with inspiring experiences in the great outdoors. Excursions encourage a deeper understanding of how the world works while sports teach teamwork, discipline and leadership.  All are a part of a healthy curriculum.

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:  $225 for secondary school students

HOW TO APPLY:

New applicants should contact The University High School office to obtain a CSEF application form or download from the website below.

• changed family circumstances, such as a change of custody, change of name, concession card number, or new siblings commencing this year.

Please check with the school if you're unsure.
