2025 CSEF Applications – Close Fri 4th July

Every Victorian child should have access to the world of learning opportunities that exist beyond the classroom. The Camps, Sports and Excursions Fund helps ensure that no student will miss out on the opportunity to join their classmates for important, educational and fun activities. It is part of making Victoria the Education State and the Government?s commitment to breaking the link between a student?s background and their outcomes. (DET Reviewed 02 April 2025)
