YEAR 7 IMMUNISATIONS

The Frankston City Council's immunisation service may contact you about the secondary school vaccine program. Schools have been authorised to provide details to local councils for this purpose. Please write a letter to the school if you do not want your contact details given to the Frankston City Council.

You should have received the vaccine consent form/s sent home from school with your child. You need to read, complete and return the form/s regardless of whether your child is being immunised at school.

To learn more about the diseases, the vaccines, or how you can prepare your child for vaccination, go to immunehero.health.vic.gov.au

SCHOOL DROP OFF AND PICK UP

As we are all aware, we have very limited parking in the Frankston High School grounds for parents picking up their children at the end of the school day. If you organise to meet your children in the drop off zone and they are not waiting for you when you arrive, please do not block the passage of cars trying to get through. If all of the unofficial spaces to the sides of the drop off zone are occupied when you arrive, please continue through the centre of the drop off zone, turn left out of the school into Foot Street, proceed down to the roundabout at Baileyana Street and then do a loop back up and around the Towerhill Road roundabout and back into the drop off zone.

Our preference has always been for parents to park in one of the side streets surrounding the school and wait for children to come to you. Thank you very much to the many parents who already do this.

It is much safer for students to be dropped off to school at the gate of Baileyana Street and then for them to walk across the oval.

Also, a reminder, face masks are mandatory on public transport.

We thank you for your cooperation.

CROSSING THE ROAD

REMINDER TO BUS TRAVELLERS

All students who travel to and from school via the public buses are reminded to only use the black and white ‘zebra crossings’ on Towerhill Road and Foot Street to get to and from bus stops, before and after school.

Traffic is extremely congested on the streets before and after school. It is not safe for students to cross the roads anywhere but the zebra crossings at any time, but especially before and after school. Parents are asked to discuss with their children, the importance of this matter.
