Dear parents and carers

As shared with you previously, parents and carers of every child enrolled in a Victorian government school in 2025 will receive the one-off School Saving Bonus $400 support.

In the coming months, the Department of Education will send you 2 email communications for each of your children enrolled in Victorian government schools.

By Friday 18 October 2024, please ensure that your child’s 2025 enrolment is completed and that your contact information is up to date.

The 2 emails from the Department of Education will:

1. Confirm your email address between mid-October and late-November.

2. Provide you with your unique $400 School Saving Bonus code by the end of November.

If you do not receive a confirmation email from the department by late-November, please check your spam or junk folders and contact the school on 9789 3288 if needed.

You can read more about the School Saving Bonus on the Department of Education website, with key information now available in 14 different languages.

Going to school every day is the single most important part of your child’s education. Students learn new things at school every day – missing school puts them behind. 

There are always times when students need to miss school, such as when they’re ill. 

If for any reason your child must miss school, please notify the office on the day of absence. 

To ensure your child doesn’t fall behind as a result of their absence, speak with their classroom teacher to find out what work they need to catch up on. 

If you’re having attendance issues with your child, please let the school know so you can work together to get your child to school every day.
