Camps, Sports and Excursions Fund
Financial Assistance Information for Parents
Every Victorian child should have access to the world of learning opportunities that exist beyond the classroom. The Camps, Sports and Excursions Fund (CSEF) is provided by the Victorian Government to ensure that no student will miss out on the opportunity to join their classmates for important, educational and fun activities.
School camps provide children with inspiring experiences in the outdoors; excursions encourage a deeper understanding of how the world works and sports teach teamwork, discipline and leadership. All are part of a healthy curriculum.
The Department of Education and Training (the Department) administers the CSEF to assist eligible families to cover the costs of school trips, camps and sporting activities.
Although administratively the fund is received through the school, the full amount is intended for the benefit of the eligible student.
The annual CSEF amount per student is:
- $150 for primary school students
- $250 for secondary school students
