School Saving Bonus

Dear parents and carers,

 

Thank you to everyone who has visited the School Saving Bonus Portal. There are many events already published on Compass.

 

If you have not already done so, please log into the SSB Portal to allocate the remaining SSB Funds to "School Activities". This step has to be done for each child in your family. Each student has a unique SSB Voucher number.

 

Please click on this link that will take you to the SSB Parent Portal Home. 

 

Please note: You will need your SSB Voucher Number and the email address for Parent #1 to complete the above process.

 

If you do not complete the above step, we will not be able to apply your SSB credit to events as they come up on Compass.

 

Activities include all BPS events such as:

  • Excursions
  • Incursions
  • Camps
  • Sporting Events
  • Graduation

Once you have allocated the SSB to School Activities, the funds will be transferred to your Family Account to be used for Camps/Excursions/Activities in 2025. You will not be able to see the SSB credit in Compass, your Family Account is on our internal accounting system. I will be processing the credits for you by reducing the cost of each event in Compass.

 

If you decline the event in Compass, the SSB funds will revert back into credit for a future event. 

 

If you do not allocate your SSB before the 30 June 2025, the funds will automatically transfer onto your school family account to be used for School Activities. Any balances remaining at the end of 2025 will remain on your family account to be used in 2026.

Two Minute Vehicle Drop Off Zones

Please remember that the drop off zones in Wilson Street and Male Street are for quick pick-ups and drop offs only. The time limit is two minutes. Your car should not be left unattended in the two minute zones.

 

We understand that you may want to walk your child into school, but please ensure that you allow extra time and park in surrounding streets, taking note of local parking restrictions and not blocking driveways. Please note that Bayside Council will book your car if it is left unattended for longer than two minutes.

 

UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES should anyone double park along the drop off zones. This poses a safety risk for students.
