SCHOOL SAVING BONUS 2025 - $400
 
In Term 4, 2024, families with a child enrolled in a government school from Prep to Year 12 in 2025 will receive 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 and textbooks.
 
The School Saving Bonus is not available for full-fee international students, home-schooled students, TAFE students, and students attending kindergarten in 2025.   
 
IMPORTANT: Actions for parents and carers
 
Before 18 October 2024, the Department of Education is asking parents and carers to:
 

• Complete enrolment: If your child or children are changing government schools for Term 1 2025, please get in touch with the new school to ensure the enrolment procedure is completed.

 

• Check your contact information: Ensure your email address and phone number is up to date with us. You can check this information by logging into your Compass account, or simply phoning the school office on 5231 9800 to verify your correct details.

 
We need to ensure your contact information is up to date as the Department of Education will email you twice:
 

• In October, to verify your email address

 

• In November, with your $400 School Saving Bonus.

 
Please check your junk mail regularly to make sure you do not miss an important email.
