Department of Education and Training Camps, Sports and Excursions Fund (CSEF) Applications

The Camps, Sports and Excursions Fund helps eligible families to cover the costs of school trips, 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 amounts this year are $125 for eligible primary 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.

 

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 such as a change of custody, change of name, concession card number, or new siblings commencing at the school in 2022.

 

If you would like to apply for the first time or have any further questions, please speak to the office staff.

Parent Payments

Thank you to all the parents who have finalised or commenced paying their child’s/children’s school levies for 2022.

 

The School Levies payment enables us to continue to offer programs across the school to enhance the learning of all students. It also covers all the students' stationery, Art, Performing Arts and LOTE supplies for the year, as well as enabling us to be able to provide and upkeep our iPads and laptops across the school.

 

Parent payments are posted on Compass and can be paid through the Compass portal or, alternatively, through the school bank account, BPAY or by coming into the office and paying via cash or EFT.

Student Absences/Attendance

If your child is unwell it is recommended to keep them home from school until they recover.

 

The school expects children to be punctual and attend regularly. If your child is absent from school, we ask that you record the absence on Compass or contact the school. If no absence has been recorded on Compass, or we have not heard from you by 9.30am on the day of absence, we will contact you to confirm your child is with you. If your child is late to school they must report to the office to be given a late pass.

 

If your family is going on a family holiday, please advise your child's teacher prior to the trip taking place, as well as updating on the Compass App.

First Aid Linen Roster - Volunteers Needed

We have had a few offers of help for our First Aid Linen Roster; thank you very much to those people.  We are still in need of some more people to fill the roster.

 

This special task requires helpers to change the Sick Bay bed linen  - only one bed - at the end of each week, take home used linen for washing and return clean linen the next week. With plenty of volunteers, this job can be shared around across the term/s.  This is a necessary job to ensure the health and safety of all students who might use the First Aid Room and we appreciate the assistance of those parents who generously help out with this.

 

If you would be able to help, please call in at the Office or email raelene.davis@education.vic.gov.au .
