School Saving Bonus – The SSB funding has been a great support to families. ALL CREDIT remaining has now reverted to use against school activities (Events/Excursions/Incursions). It can also be used for Year 12, 2026 Jackets. You can now click to ‘USE SSB CREDIT’ (if you have it) in the actual Event.

Please be aware that due to strict guidelines, credit cannot be used for laptops, Formals, donations, Curriculum Contributions etc. Any unused portion of SSB will carry over to 2026 and beyond and to siblings at the school.

If you have any questions regarding SSB, please ring Sandra (Mon/Tue/Thurs) or view: school.saving.bonus@education.vic.gov.au 

You can also ring the office (Sandra Mon/Tue/Thurs) for an update on your available Credit or to discuss any confidential financial hardship you may be having and what the College may be able to offer to help support you.

2025 Curriculum Contributions – Thank you to families who have made (and are still making) voluntary contributions to our school this year for your support and generosity. Parent contributions enable us to provide high quality teaching and learning programs and resources to support your children’s education. Your contributions allow us to provide classroom stationery and materials (rather than asking parents to purchase bookpacks), resources for literacy and numeracy (readers and maths equipment), support our specialist programs, support whole school activities etc.

With the extra funding provided with the School Savings Bonus towards uniforms and school activities, we hope that families will consider supporting the school by making a parent contribution. Please remember, you are able to make a payment of any amount at any time through the Compass Payments Centre, or you are welcome to come into the office to pay via EFT or cash. 

Extra-Curricular Items & Activities (user-pays) includes the Sports Academy, Instrumental Music, Camps, Excursions and/or ‘any item or activity that are above and beyond what the school provides free to deliver the Curriculum’.

Compass Events - Please check your Compass Parent Portal at least twice a week for upcoming Incursion, Excursion and Sporting Events as cut-off dates for Consent and or Payments will be strictly enforced. A tight turnaround is required due to transport requirements, attendance limits, first aid packs to be organised etc. The re-opening of Events after the cut-off date is not best practice and will only be done in exceptional circumstances.

Facilities – Student Lockers - All students at Heathmont College have access to a locker.  This is to ensure they have a space for their backpacks, books and electronic devices. 

Please speak to your child regarding responsibility of their property with the understanding if items are stolen then you as a parent/carer will have to replace them. Please ensure your child has a working lock.

Student ID Cards - It is a requirement for all students to carry their Compass ID Card on them daily for attendance purposes, printing, canteen, and personal identification. If a student has lost their card or comes to the office on a regular basis to sign in late without their card, a new Compass ID Card will need to be ordered by you via: Compass / Cog / Compass Identity Card / Order New Card and pay the replacement cost.

Compass Attendance - If your student is going to be late for school, please add an ‘Attendance Note’ in Compass. You can use the drop-down for the reason and add the applicable start time. Students are required to sign in at the office when arriving late to school. If your student is leaving during the day for an appointment, you can also use the above method and add the actual time away from school.
