School Saving Bonus

$400 SCHOOL SAVING BONUS 

In Term 4, 2024, families with a child enrolled in a government school from Prep to Year 12 in 2025 will receive the one-off $400 School Saving Bonus. This is to be used in 2025.

The $400 School Saving Bonus provides families with support for education-related costs, such as school activities and/or school uniforms and textbooks.  It cannot be used for voluntary contributions or stationery.

The School Saving Bonus is not available for full-fee international students, home schooled students, TAFE students and students attending kindergarten in 2025.   

We need to ensure your contact information is up to date as the Department of Education will email you twice:

• in October, to verify your email address
• in November, with your $400 School Saving Bonus.

Please check your junk mail regularly to make sure you do not miss an important email.

To learn more about the School Saving Bonus, download the School Saving Bonus Information sheet for government school parents and carers or visit vic.gov.au/school-saving-bonus. Please also be aware that the email will only be sent to the adult listed first as per your child's enrolment form.

VOLUNTARY CONTRIBUTIONS

Thanks to everyone who has paid or been paying off their voluntary contributions. We are in the fortunate place of being an advantaged school, but this also means we don’t attract any additional funding from the Department of Education. Your fundraising and voluntary financial contributions enable us to enhance the teaching and learning programs so again THANK YOU.

Please contact the office if you have any questions.
