Whole School Swimming Program 2025 – 17th – 21st  March inclusive

We will be running our swimming program again this year in Term 1. Swimming is part of our curriculum, and all students are expected to participate. The students will be graded and put into their appropriate swim levels. The program will run everyday for a week from 17th – 21st March so students will need their bathers and towel every day. 

Permissions and payments to be made through XUNO. Please see the office if a hard copy is required. Please let the office know if you would like to use School Saving Bonus or CSEF to pay for the excursion.

Families are asked to complete a short survey about their child/ren's swimming ability to assist with grouping into classes. Please complete the survey asap.

Camps, Sports & Excursions Fund (CSEF)

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:

• $154 for primary school students
• $256 for secondary school students
• New applicants should contact the school office to obtain a CSEF application form or download from the website below.
• If you applied for CSEF at your child's school last year, you do not need to complete an application form this year unless there has been a change in your family circumstances. 
• You only need to complete an application form if any of the following changes have occurred:
• new student enrolments; your child has started or changed schools this year.
• changed family circumstances; such as a change of custody, change of name, concession card number, or new siblings commencing this year.

Check with the school office if you are unsure.
