Conveyance Allowance

The conveyance allowance is a form of financial assistance to help families in rural and regional Victoria with the cost of transporting their children to their nearest appropriate school/campus. For more information, please contact the Accounts Manager. 

PTV Victorian Student Travel Pass Reimbursement

Highview College will offer reimbursements to parents/guardians for the cost of a Victorian student travel pass if this cannot be claimed through the Department of Education Conveyance Scheme. This currently applies to all Creswick students and Castlemaine students in Years 7 – 10. This reimbursement is not available to bursary students. For more information please contact the Accounts Manager.

Camps, Sports and Excursions Fund

CSEF is provided by the Victorian Government to assist eligible families to cover the costs of school trips, camps and sporting activities. If you hold a valid means-tested concession card or are a temporary foster parent, you may be eligible for CSEF. This allowance will be paid against your school fee account as camps, sports and excursions are built into our tuition fees.

Enrolment Cancellation

Families withdrawing their child/children from the College should inform the College in writing of their intention. A leaving form should then be completed, giving a minimum of one term’s notice. A term’s fees will be charged in lieu of adequate notice. This also applies where a student (or parent’s) behavior results in cancellation of enrolment.

Enrolment may also be cancelled when an account is in arrears equivalent to one Term. This will apply when a family has not made contact to arrange a payment plan or has failed to maintain an agreed payment plan. We urge any families who are experiencing financial difficulty to make contact as early as possible. A leaving form can be found in the document tab in SEQTA Engage or downloaded:
