The Victorian Government is delivering the School Saving Bonus – a one-off $400 support for government school students from Prep to Year 12 in 2025.

From Tuesday 26 November 2024, you will receive an email from the Department of Education with your unique $400 School Saving Bonus code.

For GRPS, the school saving bonus can be used for Uniforms, or Camps/Excursions/Activities - below is further information and a guide for parents/carers.

If you are wanting to order uniforms before receiving the bonus, that is not a problem. When you are ordering, please let Angie in the uniform shop know that you would like to use your School Saving Bonus. You will be able to order and collect it once you have allocated your SSB amount to the uniforms on the platform.

If you have already purchased uniforms, you are still welcome to allocate money towards uniforms to use in the future or allocate it towards school activities. The School Saving Bonus does not expire, so will carry over for future years use.

The School Saving Bonus can not be used for parent contributions, or the student book packs.

If you have multiple children enrolled in Victorian government schools for 2025, you will receive one School Saving Bonus code email per child. These emails might arrive on different days. Please make sure to check your spam/junk email folder.

Parents and carers can use the School Saving Bonus code in store at school-nominated suppliers. Parents and carers can also choose to access the School Saving Bonus online system, where they can allocate part or all the $400 bonus to use at school nominated-online suppliers or for school activities. 

To learn more about the School Saving Bonus, visit School Saving Bonus | vic.gov.au (www.vic.gov.au). A step-by-step user guide will be available on the webpage on 26 November.  

If you have not received your School Saving Bonus code via email by Friday 29 November, please contact the Department of Education by emailing school.saving.bonus@education.vic.gov.au.
