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 PSW. 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 PSW or for school activities.
