Before 18th October 2024, the Department of Education is asking parents and carers to:

Complete enrolment: If your child, or children are changing government school before Term 1 2025, or starting Prep or Year 7 in 2025, you should complete the enrolment process now.

Check your contact information: Check and update your email address and phone number in Compass. Details on how to update your contact information in Compass can be found on our webpage (see link below under contact information).

Your contact information must be up to date, as the Department of Education will email you twice:

• In November, with information about your $400 School Saving Bonus and access to the online system.

To access the School Saving Bonus, the College must have your correct email and phone numbers. The Department of Education will be contacting families directly via email with how to access the online system.
