Camps, Sports and Excursion Fund 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.
If you would like to apply for the first time, you can download the form here. Forms are also available at the office.
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.
Please return completed forms to the office as soon as possible.

Care for Areas
We are endeavouring to promote pride in and responsibility for maintaining our school environment.
In addition to picking up rubbish (very little), weeding, sweeping paths and other simple tasks will help keep our grounds and buildings looking fabulous.
In the first 20 minutes of each Monday, each class will get out and do a little caring. If parents wish to join, they are most welcome! (please sign in at the office).

Have a safe and enjoyable holidays!
