Term 4 Week 3

I am sending this week's bulletin out a little bit early as this afternoon we are celebrating the graduation of our Year 12 students and I won't have the opportunity to write this later. We have had an incredibly busy and successful week here at FHS, the focus has really been on celebrating the achievements of our graduating cohort. Yesterday our Year 12 students had the opportunity to be welcomed back to the junior campus, reminisce about their younger days and catch up with some of the teachers that have helped them over their time at the school. It was a great event and it was amazing how nostalgic our graduating students were as they wandered the hallways, retracing their memories. We wish them all the best for their exams and for all that the future holds for them.

Whilst the Year 12s have been completing their final days we have also been busy this week welcoming our new 2027 Year 7s. A big thank you to all the students and staff that helped out with the event and a special shout out to our amazing Year 7 Band 'Death by Flowers ' who showcased their talent and opened the event for us.

And our Year 8 Maths team just keep winning. Yesterday they went out to Melton to compete in another Maths challenge and finished in fourth place, an incredible effort.

Looking ahead to next week

Tuesday 27th October: VCE Night of Excellence @ Wurun. This is a real highlight of the year with our VCE students showcasing the incredible work they have done. Everyone is invited so please come along and check out why we are so proud of our VCE students.

Also on Tuesday: VCE Exams really get started with the English Exam on Tuesday Morning.

Wednesday 28th October: Hands on Learning Continues. You may have noticed some work being done at the front of the school over the past couple of weeks. We have partnered with Bunnings to develop a 'hands-on' learning program for a group of students who are refurbishing our seating area at the front of the school.  Next week is the final week of the program and the work should be finished.

Friday 30th October: Love-Bites program continues with our Year 10 students. Friday it is the turn of the Year 10 students to participate in the love bites sessions that have been running for each cohort.
