Camps, Sports, and Excursion Fund (CSEF)
The Camps Sports and Excursion Fund (CSEF) is provided by the Victorian Government to assist eligible families in covering the costs of school excursions, camps and sporting activities for the benefit of your child.
The allowance is paid directly to the school by the Education Department.
Eligible families include those holding a valid means-tested concession card such as a Centrelink Pensioner Concession Card, a Health Care Card, or those who are temporary foster parents.
To encourage families to apply, the school will provide a rebate equivalent to the School Development Levy for families whose applications are submitted and approved by the Education Department.
The CSEF application form can be downloaded here. The form outlines the eligibility requirements and must be submitted to the school as soon as possible and no later than 22 June 2026.
Parents must meet the eligibility requirements by:
- Eligibility Date: 28 January 2026
- 2nd CRN validation date (for failed CRNs only): 20 April 2026
Parents who received CSEF at Bacchus Marsh Grammar in 2025 do not need to submit a new application in 2026, provided there has been no change in family circumstances.
Please note that CSEF payments apply only to the current application year and cannot be claimed retrospectively for prior years.
