IMPORTANCE OF COMPASS ID CARDS
We would like to remind all students of the importance of bringing their Compass ID cards to school every day. These ID cards are essential for:
- Signing in if they are late to school or departing early at the kiosk
- Accessing the toilets
- Accessing the canteen for purchases
This process also helps to reduce the queue of late students at the relevant cohort. We kindly request that you remind your child to bring their Compass ID card to school each day. Your cooperation and support in this matter are greatly appreciated. If your child has misplaced their Compass ID card, please see reordering process to obtain a replacement.
VOLUNTEERS NEEDED
Breakfast Club takes place on a Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 8.00am until 8.40am with the support of Foodbank and volunteers. If any parents would like to volunteer to support Breakfast Club please contact Ben at bwilson@fhs.vic.edu.au.
We rely on volunteers to feed the hungry young people at Frankston High School so if you are able to commit to just one morning per term please let me know as soon as possible.
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.
Traffic is extremely congested on the streets before and after school. All students who travel to and from school via the public buses are reminded to only use the ‘zebra crossings’ on Towerhill Road and Foot Street to get to and from bus stops, before and after school.
It is not safe for students to cross the roads anywhere but the zebra crossings at any time. Parents/carers are asked to discuss with their children, the importance of this matter.
