Community Noticeboard
The Camps, Sports and Excursions Fund (CSEF) provides payments for eligible students to attend activities like:
- school camps or trips
- swimming and school-organised sports programs
- outdoor education programs
- excursions and incursions.
From 2020, the Victorian Government is investing an additional $160.9 million for the Camps, Sports and Excursions Fund over the next four years. This funding will help ensure more than 220,000 government and non-government students from lower-income families can participate in camps, sports and excursions each year.
Register to participate in the 2022 Push-Up Challenge – The school has been registered as a Community and invites all students and staff to join as a Team (up to 10 people) or individual under our Community – Mill Park Secondary College.
What Is It?
The Push-Up Challenge is a unique way to learn about mental health, reduce stigma associated with mental illness and encourages people to seek help when needed, build better connections, foster positive team spirit, improves fitness and mood, and generate some healthy competition.
How It Works?
The goal is to reach 3,139 push-ups in total over 24 days in the month of June 2022. This number represents the number of people who died by suicide in Australia in 2020. This can seem like a lot of push-ups to complete but you can also aim for 25%, 50%, or 75% of the goal and alternative exercises (e.g., sit-ups, squats, etc) are encouraged.
