VCE Students Travelling on Concession
If you are a student aged 17 and over, you must carry a valid PTV (Public Transport Victoria) Concession Card at all times when travelling on a concession MYKI. If you don't, your concession MYKI is invalid for travel and you could receive an infringement.
A school identification card does not entitle students aged 17 years and over to buy concession fares.
Forms are available at the Senior Office or online at http://ptv.vic.gov.au/fares-tickets/concessions/students/#1 and must be applied for at the train station.
Note: Children aged 16 years and under do not need a concession card to travel on a concession fare.

RICHIES IGA
When shopping at Ritchies and using a Community Benefit Card/Tag linked to Frankston High School, Ritchies will donate money back to us. These cards/tags can be used at ANY Ritchies store throughout Victoria, NSW and Queensland by staff, students and their families, grandparents, neighbours and so on.
If you would like to support our school and you don’t already have a Community Benefit Card/Tag, please collect one at the registers next time you shop at ANY Ritchies store. All you do is nominate Frankston High School, it’s that easy! Use your card or tag every time you shop, even if you only purchase a couple of items it all adds up. This is an easy way for us to raise funds for school with no costs involved. We’ve been a part of the Ritchies Community Benefit Program since it commenced over 20 years ago and we have already received $148,885.12 in donations from Ritchies.

Sarah in Belgium: “I really loved the orientation in Brussels, I had such a fun time. My host family were really welcoming of me and have kept me distracted for the first few weeks, which has helped a lot. In fact, I've barely felt homesick compared to what I was preparing myself for! The students were all very excited to have an Australian around that they could speak English with! During classes I mostly do French worksheets that they have given to me, or try to translate the worksheet that the rest of the class is focusing on.”
