SCHOOL SAVING BONUS

The Victorian Government is delivering the School Saving Bonus – a one-off $400 support for government school students from Prep to Year 12 in 2025.

From Tuesday 26 November 2024, you will receive an email from the Department of Education with your unique $400 School Saving Bonus code.

The School Saving Bonus will help families cover the cost of uniforms, textbooks, excursions, activities and more.

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.

Parents and carers can use the School Saving Bonus code in store at school-nominated suppliers. Parents and carers can also choose to access the School Saving Bonus online system, where they can allocate part or all the $400 bonus to use at school nominated-online suppliers or for school activities.  To learn more about the School Saving Bonus, visit School Saving Bonus | vic.gov.au (www.vic.gov.au). A step-by-step user guide will be available on the webpage on 26 November.  

If you have not received your School Saving Bonus code via email by Monday 2nd December, please contact the Department of Education by emailing school.saving.bonus@education.vic.gov.au

STUDENT PICK UP DURING SCHOOL TIME

If you need to pick up students during the school day please be mindful of the times which students are outside playing.  Students don't often hear their names being called during this time making pick up difficult. Outside play times are below

Outside lunch break : 11.10am to 11.40am

Outside recess : 1.45pm to 2.15pm.

As we have assembly on a Friday afternoon pick up during this time is also difficult. (Student do not have their bags and classrooms are locked) Please avoid picking up students between 2.40pm and 3.00pm every Friday.
