From the office

CSEF Reminder

A reminder to all parents that the submission of CSEF applications close Monday 30th June to allow for the school to process such prior to Friday 4th July.

Please ensure all applications are handed to the office before the closing date (note that schools must complete both entering and endorsing of applications to ensure the applications are processed and paid).

Late applications will not be processed after the closing date. 

If you have any queries, please direct them to Julie in the office.

Staff parking

We request that parents please do not park in the car parking area at the top of Smith Street, as this is designated for staff to park during the day.

Thank you.

School Saving Bonus Reminder

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, download the step-by-step System guide for parents and carers below, or watch this School Saving Bonus video.

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.

Thank you,

Julie & Salina.
