2027 BLPS Parent Contributions Information

This communication adheres to the Parent Payment Policy outlined by the Department of Education.

Camps, Sports & Excursions Fund (CSEF) 2027 - Applications open 29 January 2027

CSEF provides financial assistance for eligible families to help their child/children attend activities like school camps, swimming, school-organised sport programs, outdoor education programs, excursions and incursions. In 2027 eligible families will be entitled to $400 per child.

To be eligible for CSEF you must hold one of the following Centrelink cards:

*Centrelink Heath Care Card (HCC)   

*Pensioner Concession Card (PCC)

*Veterans Affairs Gold Card               

*Temporary Foster Parent card

For concession card holders, CSEF eligibility will be subject to the parent/legal guardian’s concession card being successfully validated with Centrelink on 29 January 2027 and/or 12 April 2027. In other words, the expiry date on your Centrelink card must be after one of those dates.

If your child attended BLPS in 2026 and you received CSEF in 2026, and you’re eligible for CSEF in 2027, we will automatically apply for 2027 CSEF on your behalf. Otherwise, CSEF application forms will be available online or from the school office once school resumes in 2027.

Applications for the 2027 CSEF program close at the end of term two 2027, but early submission is highly recommended.

If you have any questions, please call our office on 9894 2855 or email: blackburn.lake.ps@education.vic.gov.au
