Concession Card Holders – Camps, Sport & Excursions Fund (CSEF)

CSEF is provided by the Victorian Government to assist eligible families with the cost of excursions, camps and sporting activities. You will be eligible if you hold a means tested concession card or are a temporary foster parent.  The annual amount per student is $225.00.

After reviewing the College process for financial hardship support, it has been decided that Sacred Heart College will match that subsidy with a further $225 per student. Both the Government and College subsidies will be credited to the family fee account.
