Social Media Use Reminder
Families are reminded that there is now an Australia-wide restriction on social media use for children aged 16 years and under.
If students are found accessing social media platforms during the school day, the school may notify families.
We encourage students and families to learn more about these changes via the eSafety Commissioner website and the information available on social media age restrictions.
We also strongly encourage families to continue having regular conversations at home about safe and responsible online behaviour.
Allows parents/carers to stay in the loop with school news, enter absence details, see reports and make payments.

Road Safety Reminder
The safety of our students remains a priority, and we ask families to reinforce safe road behaviours with their children when travelling to and from school.
Recently, we have observed students crossing roads without checking for traffic, walking in front of moving vehicles and becoming distracted by mobile phones while travelling. These behaviours significantly increase the risk of serious injury.
We have also noticed students riding bicycles without helmets. Wearing an approved helmet is a legal requirement and is one of the most effective ways to reduce the risk of head injuries in the event of an accident.
We encourage all students to:
- Stay alert and avoid using mobile phones when crossing roads.
- Stop, look and listen before crossing.
- Use designated pedestrian crossings wherever possible.
- Wear a correctly fitted helmet when riding a bicycle.
- Follow all road safety rules and school expectations when travelling to and from school.
Families are also reminded that students are not permitted to travel to or from school using e-scooters or e-bikes. These devices present significant safety risks, particularly in busy school environments, and are not permitted under school expectations (see message from Victoria Police below).
Thank you for your continued support in reinforcing these important safety messages. By working together, we can help ensure every student travels safely to and from school each day.
E-Bikes and E-scooters are not permitted at Frankston High School.
REMINDERS | No student pick-up or drop-off is permitted in the on-campus car parks. Please make arrangements with your child to organise a pick-up/drop-off location off-campus. Parking is available in the streets surrounding each campus.
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.
STUDENT SUPERVISION | BEFORE AND AFTER SCHOOL
Please be aware that teachers are on duty in the grounds on the:
7-10 Campus: from 8.30am until 3.40pm.
Senior Campus: from 8.00am until 3.40pm.
It is advisable for students to arrive at school after supervision begins unless they have:
- scheduled class time
- a planned activity (eg semper squad)
Please note that some buses leave after the conclusion of yard duty. Students are expected to behave in a responsible manner when in school uniform, before and after school.
STUDENTS WITH MEDICAL CONDITIONS
Parents are reminded to advise the school of any change in diagnosis and treatment of their child’s medical conditions immediately.
The school is prohibited from administering any over the counter medication, including Panadol and antihistamines.
If you would like your child to have access to these, or any other medications, you must have provided it, with your child's name and form, to the First Aid Attendant.
