Parent Payments
There are still a lot of families who have not paid their 2024 School Levies.
This payment enables us to continue to offer programs across the school to enhance the learning of all students. It also covers all the students' stationery, Art, Performing Arts and LOTE supplies for the year, as well as enabling us to be able to provide and upkeep our iPads and laptops across the school.
Parent payments are posted on Compass and can be paid through the Compass portal or, alternatively, through the school bank account, BPAY or by coming into the office and paying via cash or EFT.
If you are having financial difficulties in making this payment, please speak to Sue Hartley or Tina Clark in the office.
Attendance
Just a reminder...if your child is absent from school for any reason, please update Compass or call the school attendance line to advise. If we have not heard from you by 9.30am, we will attempt to contact you by phone. If no answer, then this will be followed up with an email.
It is the Department's policy that all absences are explained. If your child is marked absent for 3 days or more unexplained, this information is forwarded to the Department of Education Regional Office for follow-up.
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 26th November.
If you have not received your School Saving Bonus code via email by Friday 29th November, please contact the Department of Education by emailing school.saving.bonus@education.vic.gov.au
