NAIDOC Week

We celebrated NAIDOC Week last week with some truly wonderful activities and events. These included sub-school assemblies with various guests and presenters including students and staff from Kurnai College, that included a wonderful performance from their Dedlee Kultya Dancers!!! We were also privileged to have Hudson Fraser from the wonderful Living Culture team share his experiences and perspectives.

We also sent staff and students to visit Kurnai College on Thursday 31 July to join their NAIDOC Week Celebration. Kurnai College are certainly a benchmark in their approach to community and their support and work with their indigenous students and the wider reaches of this, are inspiring. We look forward to continuing to strengthen our approach within our school and the wider community. Thank you very much to Mrs Jessica Bambridge, Ms Kate Burgess, Mr John Russell, Ms Georgia Tierney, Mrs Ally Bailey, Ms Jenny Martyn, Mrs Carolyn Florance and Ms Leah Hannas for making these events possible.

International Students

We welcomed a number of new International Students to Frankston High School to commence this term. These students and some of their parents/carers took part in an orientation program which involved meeting their teachers, learning about our school, choosing their elective subjects, followed by a tour of our school.

It was wonderful to see both new and current international students forming connections and friendships right from the first day! We are looking forward to organising more activities throughout Semester 2 to further support their engagement and help them feel at home in their new environment.

Thank you to Ms Kelly Lin, Ms Meimei Ren and Mrs Sharon Koning for all of their hard work in coordinating this day, supported by Mr Cam Heyes and Ms Caitlin Halliwell.

Careers Education

Term 3 is a big term for Careers Education and Course Selection! Towards the end of last term, we ran a Course Selection session for our Year 8 students, commenced our Year 9 Morrisby interviews, and yesterday, Thursday 31 July, ran our Subject and Tertiary Expo for our current Year 9 and 10 students. We are excited to continue to grow the profile and importance of careers ensuring students are empowered to make well informed subject and course selections. Thank you to Mrs Carla Caminiti for her leadership of careers this year, supported by Ms Michaeli Lyon, Ms Teena Borshoff, Ms Rhonda Gifford, and Ms Tiffany Greenhill.

Mr Andrew Batchelor

Principal
