Term 3 Week 1
Welcome back to FHS for Semester 2. We are off and running again with new electives starting up and a couple of new faces around the school. We have had two new teachers start with us this term, Mikarla, teaching English and Humanities and Sam who is teaching Health and PE, we have also got a handful of new students who have started with us, so welcome aboard everyone we hope you have enjoyed your first week.
The staff started the week with a curriculum day on Monday where we spent the majority of the day starting the work on building our new curriculum for 2027. We will be launching the 2027 electives at the end of this term so keep an eye out for subject selection dates coming soon.
This week has also seen the release of our most recent NAPLAN results. Families should receive their student's results in the mail in the coming days. Whilst we don't put too much emphasis on these one-off results it was very pleasing to see that across all measures the school has improved, so well done to all those students that participated.
Looking ahead to next week
Monday: Games club is back up and running on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. Head along to room G07 to see what it is all about.
- Learning Enhancement is back as well. Your teacher will sign you up if you need some extra help to get your work completed or you can sign up yourself, just turn up to the Learning Centre after school on Monday if you want to hang out and do some school work.
Tuesday: Debate team meeting at lunchtime. Talk to Olivia if you want to get involved.
Wednesday: The Maths Challenge continues this term with our teams competing against other schools from around the state. Go team FHS.
- Unicorn Girl Rehearsals are running afterschool on Wednesday as well. The production is happening in Week 8 of this term, keep an eye out for ticket sale details in the coming weeks.
Thursday: Possible industrial action and Strike day. We may hear later today if the strike is going ahead. We will let you know as soon as we have more information. If the strike does go ahead there will be significant disruption to school on this day.
