Influenza/Covid

 

There have been a lot of confirmed cases of influenza A and B at school over the last few weeks. There have also been several covid cases.  Both are very contagious. 

We ask that you please keep children who are unwell and have a fever, at home so we can reduce the spread of germs at school.  Also remind your children about the importance of covering their mouth and nose when they cough and sneeze.  We will continue to encourage hand washing and sanitising at school. 

 

School Savings Bonus

 

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

 

The SSB can be used for uniforms and textbooks until Monday 30 June 2025.

 

Any funds remaining after 30 June 2025, including online voucher amounts that have not been redeemed, will become a credit to use on school activities. However, the credit will not be available on your family account at our school until late July. To use any remaining SSB funds to cover the cost of school activities in July, please refer to the SSB online system and allocate the funds to school activities before 30 June 2025. To learn more about the SSB online system you can watch this School Saving Bonus video.
