Dear Families/Carers,

We are aware that some of our families are still experiencing problems with the Department of Education $400.00 School Saving Bonus vouchers.

The Department of Education has established a dedicated contact centre to support the SSB. The contact centre can be reached by:

  • calling 1800 338 663, between 8:30am and 4:30pm on weekdays
  • email This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
  • website https://www.vic.gov.au/school-saving-bonus

Unfortunately, the contact centre is experiencing high call volumes and there have been delays in calls being answered. We highly recommend sending an email or logging an enquiry form via the website and you will be contacted by the SSB Team.

We have received good news that Edrolo has been added as a supplier under the Online Voucher area within the Textbook option of the SSB Parent Portal.This will assist VCE students to access the Daily Plus Option $85.00 for online textbook and resources on the VCE Booklist. A separate communication will be forwarded to VCE families with instructions on how to use this voucher and the Edrolo Portal.

Please be assured that your funds will be available to use in the SSB Parent Portal until 30th June 2025 for School Uniform, Textbooks or School Activities. Any funds not utilised via the Parent Portal after the 30th June 2025 will be directed back to your family account at GSSC for use towards School Activities/Excursions/Camps.

If you have any further questions, please call us on 5891 2000.

Dear families,

Welcome to the 2025 school year. I hope you had a happy Christmas and New Year and managed to take some time over the break to relax and recharge.

As I reflect on the new school year, I look back to 2020 when GSSC was formed and can see how far we have come in building a vibrant and positive school culture. Together, we’ve forged ‘the GSSC way’ and heading into our fourth year on the Hawdon St campus, I look forward to continuing on this path and moving from strength to strength.

A few reminders before school resumes next week:

  • Year 12s and fast-tracking students start back on Wednesday, 29 January.
  • Year 7 Conferences will also be held on Wednesday, 29 January. This provides an opportunity for Year 7 students and their parent/guardians to have a short meeting with their Home Group teacher, be shown their locker, receive their timetable and ask any questions before school begins. Bookings for conferences can be made through Compass.
  • All students return on Thursday, 30 January.

The school day begins at 8.50am each day, with Home Group and this is where Home Group teachers will provide important updates and information for the day and week ahead. It is essential all students attend Home Group each day, as well as all classes. Attending school every day is giving our young people every opportunity to succeed and maintain strong relationships. 

A reminder that our device policy requires students to leave mobile phones and other devices at home, or securely in their locker from the start of the school day, until the end of the school day at 3.10pm. This ensures our classrooms are distraction free, and students are making the most of their opportunities to learn and connect with each other.

We are extremely proud of our College and we hope you will have the same pride by wearing your full school uniform every day and coming to school ready to learn.

Let’s start the year off on a great note.

Barbara O’Brien
Executive Principal
