Dear parents and carers,

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.   

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 school for Term 1 2025, or starting Prep or Year 7 in 2025. For more information, read about Enrolling in School. 
  • Check your contact information: Ensure your email address and phone number is up to date with us. You can check this information by contacting us directly.

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.

To learn more about the School Saving Bonus, download the School Saving Bonus Information sheet for government school parents and carers or visit vic.gov.au/school-saving-bonus.

It's fantastic that Committee4Greater Shepparton and Wodonga TAFE are engaging with students to understand their perceptions of industries like transport, logistics, and warehousing. By seeking feedback from Years 11 and 12 students, C4GS and TAFE are not only gaining valuable insights into current knowledge and awareness, but also addressing the evolving dynamics of these traditionally male-dominated fields.

This approach helps to identify gaps in knowledge and perceptions, especially among young women who might not be aware of the diverse opportunities available in these industries. Additionally, by understanding how students consume media and learn best, these organisations can tailor their outreach and educational strategies more effectively.

It’s encouraging to see GSSC's commitment to collaborating with industry partners to create pathways that support students both during their schooling and beyond. Engaging with students directly ensures that programs and career guidance are relevant and impactful, ultimately helping them make informed decisions about their future careers.
