School Saving Bonus reminder and allocation to school activities

SSB (School Savings Bonus)

A reminder to families that the SSB portal will close on 30th June.  If you haven’t allocated your funds across to Activities, please go in and do that so we can access them correctly on your school account.

STATEMENTS

Statements will be going home next week, so you’ll be able to see what you owe or how much credit you have. 

The Department of Education’s SSB contact centre will remain available until 30 June 2025. The contact centre can be reached by:

• completing the School Saving Bonus enquiry form 
• calling 1800 338 663, between 8:30 am and 4:30 pm on weekdays.

After this date, please contact our administration team for any SSB related questions.

If you have any queries around this and we understand it is complicated, please contact the office.  Again, thanks for your patience.

Camps, Sports and Excursions Fund 

The Camps, Sports and Excursions Fund (CSEF) helps eligible families to cover the costs of school trips, camps and sporting activities.

If you have a valid means-tested concession card, or are a temporary foster parent, you may be eligible. A special consideration category also exists for asylum seeker and refugee families. Means-tested concession cards must be valid on the first day of Term 1, 2025 (Tuesday 28 January 2025) or Term 2, 2025 (Tuesday 22 April 2025). 

A student aged 16 years and over who is considered a mature minor and holds a valid concession card is also eligible to apply.

Eligible families will receive a payment of $154 per year for primary school students. The funds will be paid directly to the school to be used towards camps, sports and excursion costs for the benefit of your child. 

If you applied for CSEF through our school last year, you do not need to complete an application form this year, unless there has been a change in your family circumstances. 

If you would like to apply for the first time, please contact the school office on 5255 1340 and ask for an application form. Please return completed application forms to the school office as soon as possible.
