2025 Parent Payment Letters
Camps, Sports and Excursions Fund (CSEF)
The CSEF provides payments to assist eligible families to cover the costs of camps, sporting activities and excursions.
Payments are made directly to an eligible student’s school. Schools must use a CSEF payment only for the eligible student and not for that student’s siblings or any other student (except where the eligible student leaves the Victorian education system and there are remaining and unspent funds).
Some common examples of school-organised programs for which a CSEF payment may be used include:
- school camps/trips
- swimming and other school-organised sporting programs
- outdoor education programs
- excursions/incursions.
The CSEF payment cannot be used towards:
- books
- stationery
- school uniforms
- before/after school care
- music lessons
- locker hire
- classroom and homework materials
- graduations and formals
- other expenses unrelated to camps, sports or excursions.
Applications for CSEF payments must be submitted by the end of term two 2024.
