CURRENT EVENTS

A reminder for Year 3-6 students that Swimming payments are now due for the House Swimming Carnvial next Monday 10th February. If you wish to use your SSB for this, please just  click 'Consent' on Compass and don't pay. 

Please then ensure you go to the SSB  portal and transfer over any remaining funds you will not be using for uniforms.

That will indicate to us that you want to use the SSB to pay for this excursion.

SCHOOL REQUISITES

Please watch out for a Compass Post this week for the school requisites. Your voluntary contribution is most appreciated as it contributes to the children's overall learning. 😊

SCHOOL SAVINGS BONUS REMINDER AND SUPPORT

The Victorian Government has 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 helps families cover the cost of uniforms,  camps, excursions, activities and more.

Most families have now received their SSB code(s). We encourage you to take advantage of this government support.

To learn more about the SSB online system, see the step-by-step System guide for parents and carers  here:

  or watch this School Saving Bonus video. System guide translations are also available in 14 languages.

If you would like to use your bonus for school activities, you can allocate some or all of the bonus using the School Saving Bonus online system.

The Department of Education has established a dedicated contact centre to support the SSB. 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.

PLEASE NOTE: The SSB portal will close in mid June so if you have not allocated your funds by then, it will automatically be allocated to the school.
