SENIOR School

Dear Senior School Parents/Carers and Students

FRIDAY 22 NOVEMBER

Curriculum Day (student Free) + Best Fest 3.00-6.30pm

See BEST FEST information HERE

November at the Senior Campus is both focused and full of activity, with an overwhelmingly positive atmosphere. Study spaces are bustling with students hard at work, joined by teachers who have relocated their 'offices' to be nearby, offering support and guidance.

The Reflection Room has been used well by students who need a space to be mindful, take a break and have been well supported by the Wellbeing Team.

Year 11 students have commenced their two-week period of End-of-Year Examinations and Year 12 student are into their third week of final VCAA examinations. We are incredibly proud of how our Year 12 students have conducted themselves during both examinations and revision.

Thank you to our wonderful community of Frankston High School teaching staff and Education Support staff for their support of our Year 11 and 12 students in the lead up and during examinations.

A special heartfelt thank you to the 2024 Senior School Team including Wellbeing and Careers; Ms Kelly Mitchell, Mr Jack Barbour, Ms Kate Burgess, Ms Brittany Harvey, Ms Kerryn Elrick, Mr Alex Trickovic, Ms Leanne Milne, Ms Mel Donegan, Ms Claudia Tymms, Ms Sharon Bourne, Ms Jessica Bambridge, Ms Michaeli Lyon, Ms Tina Thomas and Ms Carolyn McIver.

VCE Year 12 results and ATAR advice will be available from 7.00am on Thursday 12 December. Students will have registered to receive their results either online, via the mobile app or email.

Early Commencement | Year 10>11, Year 11>12

Years 11 and 12 2025 studies commence on Monday 25 November and conclude on Friday 29 November.

During this period students will begin learning key knowledge and skills for each subject. Importantly, students will start establishing positive connections with their teachers and classes for the next year. We know that these relationships are essential for connectedness and belonging.

Years 11 and Year 12 2025 students will be set important activities to engage with over the holiday period to help ensure they transition positively into their 2025 studies. Parent/carers can check this work via Compass.

Participation in Early Commencement and completing all holiday homework is essential for establishing solid foundations for success in 2025 – Optima Semper.

Students are reminded to wear full school uniform as per the Uniform Policy.

Valedictory | Wednesday 20 November

We are looking forward to celebrating the efforts and contributions of the Class of 2024 at the Valedictory on Wednesday 20 November. The event will take place at Crown Palladium, commencing at 6.30pm with guest arrival starting at 6.00pm. The evening's festivities will conclude at 11.00pm, featuring a delectable two-course meal.

Please note that this is a dry event, and the dress code for the event is formal wear. Parking facilities are available at the complex. We look forward to an elegant and memorable evening.
