Financial Contributions
As we prepare for another engaging year of teaching and learning, Macleod College invites families to support our 2026 voluntary financial contributions.
While all students receive free instruction aligned with the standard curriculum, these contributions help us enrich the educational experience and provide additional resources that benefi t every student. We aim to limit increases but this is only possible if our families make this fi nancial commitment.
We proudly uphold our core values— Achieve, Respect, Connect —through inclusive, comprehensive programs that support both academic growth and student wellbeing.
Your ongoing support plays a vital role in helping us deliver the best possible outcomes for our learners.

School Saving Bonus (SSB)
School Saving Bonus is a one-off support of $400 for families of Victorian government school students to help with 2025 school costs.
Your unique SSB code can be used at the following suppliers:
North of the Yarra Bookstore for textbooks
Noone’s for school uniforms
through Macleod College for excursions/activities and camps
EdRolo for digital textbooks for the following subjects:
07-10 Maths
11-12 General Maths
11-12 Physics
11-12 Psychology
To use your SSB for a school activity (i.e. camp and excursions):
go to SSB Parent Portal and allocate an amount to be used for school activities. This may take up to 48 hours to process.
then tick the CSEF/Credit box when paying for an event through your Compass Parent Portal. If you do not have that option, please contact 6242-accounts@schools.vic.edu.au for assistance.
The School Saving Bonus can not be used for school fees or resources or music academy fees.
Once you allocate your bonus to an in-store or online purchase or to school activities, it cannot be reversed.
However, if you have unspent funds or don’t use the funds you allocated to purchases, these funds will automatically be available on your child’s school account as an activities credit on 01 July 2025.
