School Saving Bonus (SSB)

The School Saving Bonus provides $400 in one-off support for Victorian school-aged students in Term 4, 2024, for use on 2025 school costs. 

Families can choose how they want to spend the School Saving Bonus. It can be used towards 2025 school costs, which may include:  

• camps, trips, excursions and incursions * refer below to information regarding the Authority to allocate funds 
• swimming and sporting programs  
• school uniforms (available from PSW)

Funds cannot be used for afterschool clubs, student stationary packs, or fundraising events/activities organised by the school.

As this is a DET-managed initiative, all voucher queries should be directed to school.saving.bonus@education.vic.gov.au. 

We have created a Compass Event for parents to authorise the school to allocate the funds for you.  The purpose of this communication/event is to obtain parent/carer consent to allocate any SSB funding that you have nominated for “SSB – Activities” to the nominated activities/camps/incursions as they arise throughout the year until all your nominated funds for “activities” have been used up.

Please also ensure you have been into your School Saving Bonus Portal and nominated School Activities.

Parents/carers will still need to provide consent for each activity through Compass, which, once received, we will allow the school to allocate the SSB on your behalf to that particular camp/excursion/incursion or activity. If you have questions about a specific activity relating to the SSB, don't hesitate to get in touch with the school office via email – wheelers.hill.ps@education.vic.gov.au

Please note that if parents do not allocate SSB funds by 30th June via the portal, any remaining SSB will automatically come back to the school and sit in your child’s account for future use for school activities.

Parent Helpers and Volunteers at WHPS

Many parents assist at school within the classroom, excursions and school events throughout the year. 

It is mandatory, that all Volunteers/parent helpers hold a valid Working with Children Card.  The card must be presented to the Office every time you sign in, on school grounds/or on an excursion helper.

For more information on the Working with Children Card and applications, please visit: Home | Working with Children. 

Lost Property

Please ensure all school clothes, bags, and personal property are clearly labelled with the student’s name.  This will ensure that property can be returned to the correct person when lost.
