Important Update: Student Sign In/Out Procedures

Dear Parents and Carers,

To help us maintain accurate attendance records, we kindly ask that you follow the updated procedures for student arrivals and early departures:

  • Late Arrivals: If your child arrives late to school, please accompany them to the office and sign them in using the XUNO Kiosk in the foyer.

  • Early Departures: If you are picking up your child early, you must sign them out using the XUNO Kiosk in the foyer before leaving the school grounds.

These procedures ensure our attendance rolls are always accurate and up to date.

Thank you for your cooperation and support.

Kind regards,

Werribee Primary School

CSEF applications close on 4th July 2025

The Camps, Sports and Excursions Fund (CSEF) helps eligible families to cover the costs of school trips, camps and sporting activities.

If you have a valid means-tested concession card, or are a temporary foster parent, you may be eligible. A special consideration category also exists for asylum seeker and refugee families. Means-tested concession cards must be valid on the first day of Term 1, 2025 (Tuesday 28 January 2025) or Term 2, 2025 (Tuesday 22 April 2025).

A student aged 16 years and over who is considered a mature minor and holds a valid concession card is also eligible to apply.

Eligible families will receive a payment of $154 per year for primary school students and $256 per year for secondary school students. The funds will be paid directly to the school to be used towards camps, sports and excursion costs for the benefit of your child.

If you applied for CSEF through our school last year, you do not need to complete an application form this year, unless there has been a change in your family circumstances.

If you would like to apply for the first time, please click here or contact the school office werribee.ps@education.vic.gov.au  and ask for an application form. Please return completed application forms to the school office as soon as possible.

Thank you.
