UPDATE - School Saving Bonus

Dear Parents and Carers, 

In 2024, families with a child enrolled in a government school from Prep to Year 12 in 2025 received information about the one-off $400 School Saving Bonus.

The $400 School Saving Bonus provides families with support for education-related costs, such as school activities and/or school uniforms.  Please note that the bonus stays with your child until used and does not expire as at 30th June.

We are working with Compass to provide easy allocation of your funds.  Until this is released, please email the school when you wish to use funds for a particular event or activity.

The School Saving Bonus is not available for full-fee international students, home schooled students, TAFE students and students attending kindergarten in 2025.   

Check your contact information: Ensure your email address and phone number is up to date with us. You can check this information through Compass or by contacting us directly.  Should you wish to update your contact details please email blackburn.ps@education.vic.gov.au with updated information

Please check your junk mail if you feel you are missing information from the Department of Education.
