Compass Card
2020 Frankston High School Compass Student cards will comply as a (Public Transport Victoria) PTV Approved School Student ID card. This will mean that parents or students will not have to arrange for an additional student ID card for public transport which is a saving of $9.00. The new cards will arrive in March after 2020 student photos have been taken. All the more reason students need to keep them in a safe place.

Introducing WoW! – Words on Wheels Initiative
In order to support the teaching and learning of all staff and students in the VCE Campus, a mobile library will be bringing VCE texts, study guides, support material and study skills advice to the Presentation Space in 2020. While hours will be limited to Thursday, our Teacher Librarian Tonia Hast and incredibly helpful Librarian Michelle Snooks will always be available for online advice and requests for print and digital resources. Remember, Homework Club is open to ALL students in the JRC from 3.30 to 4.30 from Tuesday to Thursday.
Study Tip No. 2
Sitting in class or reading a textbook are very passive ways to learn, and while you may learn something from these, you might be surprised by how little information your brain will retain.
- Read the textbook looking for answers to questions that you have in mind, and you must integrate the facts of the class into your understanding.
- Look at the course objectives to determine what you need to know. Your class notes will suggest what is necessary to memorize for Outcomes.
- Writing the information in question form really makes you think about what the teacher or textbook is telling you, and more than that you have an excellent study resource to return to. Who knows, one of these questions you might even be on your exam!
Year 10 Work Experience

Crossing The Road
REMINDER TO BUS TRAVELLERS

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.
