School Savings Bonus
The emails for the SSB were sent centrally from the Department of Education, and will have come from:
Department of Education Victoria <noreply@comms-mc.education.vic.gov.au>
If you have multiple children enrolled in Victorian government schools for 2025, you will receive one School Saving Bonus code email per child. These emails might arrive on different days. Please make sure to check your spam/junk email folder.
Regardless of whether you have received an email, the school has received the $400 for all students enrolled in 2025 as of early November.
If you haven’t received an email regarding your children, please contact the SSB team at school.saving.bonus@education.vic.gov.au or on 1800 338 663.
More information about the SSB is available here: https://www.vic.gov.au/receiving-school-saving-bonus
When making your allocation to either school activities, school uniform or both please remember that this allocation cannot be changed. Any unused portion of the school uniform allocation will come back to the school as activities after 30th June, 2025.
The activities allocation does not need to be used in 2025, it will remain on the student account until used, similar to CSEF.
