Thank you to all of the families that have logged in to their School Savings Bonus (SSB) Parent Portal and started to allocate their $400 to Uniform and or Activities.We are receiving your allocations at school level and starting to transact these through our school system.

If Families wish to allocate an amount of their SSB to ‘Activities’ please log in and allocate through the portal by Friday the 20th of December. We are requesting this to have an accurate list of families with credit to be allocated to any planned Camps/Excursions in 2025.Families will then be able to choose to allocate this credit when giving consent for any future Camps/Excursions through COMPASS.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION PLEASE READ

School Saving Bonus $400

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. 

The School Saving Bonus will help families cover the cost of uniforms, excursions, activities and more. As our school does not charge for textbooks, this option should not be used by our parents.

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
