The ‘summer slide’ is estimated to be equivalent to a two to three month loss of reading proficiency. Public Libraries Victoria have organized the Big Summer Read to support student reading over the break, with great prizes and giveaways on offer.  You can find more information here!

Summer reading and viewing with Frankston High School Library

Whilst students might not be able to borrow books from the library over the summer, they still have access to a wide range of eBooks, audiobooks and movies throughout the holidays.

ePlatform offers a huge library of popular eBooks and audiobooks, whilst Clickview and TV4Education have extensive collections of videos and movies to stream.  All three are single sign-on so once you have logged on for the first time with your Compass details, your computer will remember and do it automatically.

To access:

Compass > star > FHS Library > Clickview (located on the top menu - Movies)

                                                                                > TV4Education (top menu - Movies)

                                                                                > ePlatform (top menu – eBooks/Audiobooks)

Overdue Books

Thank you to all the students who have returned their library loans so we can complete our end of year stocktake on our collection.  If you have received an overdue email reminder from Compass, please return overdue items to the Library or General Office by Wednesday 17 December 2025.  Any books not returned will incur a book replacement fee charged to your school account in the New Year.

Wishing everyone a safe and happy holidays and see you next year!
