School Saving Bonus

Dear Parents and Carers,

In Term 4, 2024, all families with a child enrolled in a government school from Prep to Year 12 for the 2025 school year will receive a one-off $400 School Saving Bonus. This bonus is designed to assist families with education-related expenses, such as school activities, uniforms, and textbooks.

Please note, the School Saving Bonus is not available to full-fee international students, home-schooled students, TAFE students, or students attending kindergarten in 2025.

Before 18 October 2024, we kindly request parents and carers to:

Complete enrolment: If your child is starting Prep or Year 7, or changing government schools for Term 1, 2025, please ensure their enrolment is completed. More information can be found on the Enrolling in School page.

Verify contact information: Please check that your email address and phone number are up to date in Compass. If any details need updating, kindly inform the office as soon as possible.

We need to ensure your contact information is accurate, as the Department of Education will contact you twice:

1. In October, to verify your email address.
2. In November, with instructions on how to access your $400 School Saving Bonus through an online system.

Please remember to check your junk or spam folders regularly to avoid missing these important communications.

For more information about the School Saving Bonus, you can download the School Saving Bonus Information Sheet or visit the official Victorian Government website at vic.gov.au/school-saving-bonus.

Regards,
