Working Bee
We would love to have your company at our first Working Bee for 2015!
On Sunday, 15 March, the Frankston High School Grounds Committee is holding a Working Bee from 8am until 12pm. We will be concentrating our efforts on planting and mulching the gardens on both campuses. Our lovely grounds are a really important part of our school and are well used and appreciated by the student community.
Working Bees at Frankston High School are family friendly affairs that are very welcoming. The tasks are suitable for all ages and the work completed makes a huge difference to the appearance of the school. We seem to be able to find all sorts of jobs to match all weather conditions! As a result we never need to cancel and Working Bees go ahead rain, hail or shine!
The school has some gardening tools but it is always helpful if Working Bee members can also bring some of their own tools as well. Wheel barrows, shovels, rakes, secateurs and hand tools would be particularly useful.
We will be having morning tea at 10am and a light Thank You barbecue at 12pm. Even if you are only able to come for part of the morning we would appreciate your time.
Please register online at www.fhs.vic.edu.au if you are able to attend. Alternatively, telephone the General Office on 97837955 or email office@fhs.vic.edu.au by Friday, 13 March.
If you would like further information please contact Lee Anne Smith on 9783 7955

Seeking Host Families for our Soweto Student
For more than a decade, our student leaders have been actively promoting the wonderful relationship we have with our sister school, Letsibogo Girls High School in Soweto, South Africa.
Each year Frankston High School sponsors a student from Letsibogo and provides her with the opportunity of experiencing life and learning in a privileged environment, offering opportunities they may otherwise never experience. The student is selected according to her potential to graduate from school and progress with further tertiary learning and a fulfilling career.
We are asking Frankston High School families to consider hosting our 2015 Letsibogo Girls’ High School student, Jess, for a period of four weeks. Jess is completing Year 11 at Frankston High School and host families are needed from April 2015 onwards. Daily needs such as clothing, toiletries, pre pay mobile phone, public transport costs plus a $30 per week allowance are provided by the school. However, we would be relying on the generosity of host families to provide accommodation and food.
Receipts from public transport, phone cards for overseas calls (available from a newsagency) and mobile phone cards, etc, will be reimbursed from the Finance Office on the 7-10 Campus.
