(1) CSEF Funding Reminder
From the Finance Department
If you have not already applied for the Camps, Sports and Excursions Fund (CSEF) in 2020, now is the time to do so. The CSEF is provided by the Victorian Government, with an allowance paid directly to the school to use towards expenses relating to camps, excursions or sporting activities for the benefit of your child.
If you hold or have just received a valid means-tested concession card, are a temporary foster parent or a student between 16 to 18 years old and have a means-tested Disability Pension or Youth Allowance card, you may be eligible for the CSEF.
The annual CSEF amount per student is $225 for secondary school students.
Parents that received CSEF at the school in 2019 do not need to complete an application form in 2020 unless any of the following changes have occurred:
new student enrolments — your child has started or changed schools in 2020 or you did not apply at the same school in 2019; or
changed family circumstances — such as a change of custody, change of name, concession card number, or new siblings commencing at the school in 2020.
If a form was not lodged in 2019, parents or legal guardians are required to complete a CSEF application form and lodge it with the College. Application forms should be completed and lodged as soon as possible in Term 2. Schools will be able to accept and process applications up until the end of Term 2 (Friday 26 June 2020). CSEF payments are for the current application year and cannot be claimed retrospectively for prior years.
A CSEF application form is attached or it can be downloaded HERE. Find more information about CSEF HERE. Parents must lodge a CSEF application form with a photocopy of their Health Care/Pension card or email all the relevant information to mkirkwood@mlmc.vic.edu.au
Please note - no late applications can be accepted.
