2027 Year 7 School Tours
Families in our school zone considering Frankston High School for Year 7 in 2027 are warmly invited to attend one of our school tours. These tours provide a great opportunity to explore our facilities, learn about our learning programs and wellbeing supports, and hear from our staff and students about life at Frankston High School.
Bookings are essential and can be made online via our website.
Please to this website for more details: Year 7 Transition | Frankston High School
We look forward to welcoming prospective families to our school community.
Social Media Use Reminder
Families are reminded that there is now an Australia-wide restriction on social media use for children aged 16 years and under. If students are found accessing social media platforms during the school day, the school may notify families.
We encourage students and families to learn more about these changes via the eSafety Commissioner website and the information available on social media age restrictions.
We also strongly encourage families to continue having regular conversations at home about safe and responsible online behaviour.
Compass Cards
New Compass Cards have arrived. Students are required to carry their Compass Card with them each day, as it is used for several important functions on the Junior Campus, including:
- Signing in and out with Year Level Coordinators (for late arrivals or early departures)
- Borrowing books from the JRC (Library)
- Accessing student toilets
- Purchasing items at the canteen
It is important that students have their Compass Card with them at all times while at school.
If a Compass Card is lost, a replacement can be ordered through Compass at a cost of $12.22.
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.
CROSSING THE ROAD | REMINDER TO BUS TRAVELLERS
All students who travel to and from school via the public buses are reminded to only use the black and white ‘zebra crossings’ on Towerhill Road and Foot Street to get to and from bus stops, before and after school.
Traffic is extremely congested on the streets before and after school. It is not safe for students to cross the roads anywhere but the zebra crossings at any time, but especially before and after school. Parents/carers are asked to discuss with their children, the importance of this matter.
STUDENT SUPERVISION | BEFORE AND AFTER SCHOOL
Please be aware that teachers are on duty in the grounds on the:
7-10 Campus: from 8.30am until 3.40pm.
Senior Campus: from 8.00am until 3.40pm.
It is advisable for students to arrive at school after supervision begins unless they have:
- scheduled class time
- a planned activity (eg semper squad)
Please note that some buses leave after the conclusion of yard duty. Students are expected to behave in a responsible manner when in school uniform, before and after school.
STUDENTS WITH MEDICAL CONDITIONS
Parents are reminded to advise the school of any change in diagnosis and treatment of their child’s medical conditions immediately.
The school is prohibited from administering any over the counter medication, including panadol and antihistamines. If you would like your child to have access to these, or any other medications, you must have provided it, with your child's name and form, to the First Aid Attendant.
