School Saving Bonus

by Ms Mel Nicholson, Business Manager

Primary Parent A has received an email from the School Saving Bonus (SSB) team which provides parents with a link to the SSB portal and their unique log-in code. Here is a how-to video guide available for parents on how to access the portal. 

 

Parent information is offered in 14 languages: School Saving Bonus | vic.gov.au  

 

Some common examples of school activities for which the School Saving Bonus may be used include:

  • school camps, trips, excursions and incursions

  • swimming and sporting programs

  • outdoor education programs

  • graduations 

  • school uniforms

  • textbooks. 

Alternatively, the parent/carer can purchase uniforms and/or textbooks via an in-store or online purchase, with our school suppliers. 

 

The School Saving Bonus cannot be used towards:

  • activities required for the school’s delivery of the curriculum

  • before/after school care

  • locker hire

  • classroom and homework materials

  • formals or debutante balls. 

Families who have more than one child at the same school can combine their School Saving Bonus to use on one child or for a specific activity (for example, a camp). 

 

If you have any questions, please log an inquiry form for assistance.
