Daily needs such as clothing, toiletries, pre-pay mobile phone, public transport costs plus a $30 per week allowance are provided by the school.

High Resolves
Years 7 and 8
High Resolves is a not-for-profit educational initiative that motivates high school students to be purposeful global citizens and develop the mindsets and skills they need to lead their communities, and the world, to a brighter future.
Year 7 Program
On Monday 27 and Tuesday 28 May students in Year 7 will be involved in the High Resolves program. Students will spend three periods on one of these days undertaking a module on Identity and Purpose. This addresses the core questions, “Who am I?” and “Who do I want to become?” Participants develop their sense of collective identity as members of a single human race. Participants must develop a competence in independent thinking and associated values, including open-mindedness and critical thinking.
Year 8 Program
On Monday 6 and Tuesday 7 May Year 8 students will be involved a module on Just Society. Students will work on this module for three periods on one the days. This module addresses the core question, “What kind of world do I want to see?” and “Will my choices be on the right side of history in 50 years?” Thinking through such issues should lead us to favor greater social justice. Participants will develop a competence in social advocacy.

Health and Safety for Teenagers While Working on Screens
Frankston High School is aware that the overuse of computers without breaks is not good for the health of young people. Fortunately, at our school the variety of learning activities on offer during a school day does not involve students sitting using a computer all day long. However, the following attached information has been generously provided by a parent (Mrs Tanya Harrasser) to inform us all of the importance of maintaining our health in relation to computer usage.
Dogs for Kids with Disabilities
Indigenous Lifesaving Leadership Program is on again!!
From 5 - 12 May, a group of trained lifesaving students from Frankston High School will travel to Far North Queensland to a small remote indigenous boarding school called St Teresa’s Abergowrie.
We need your support to help fund the return trip to Abergowrie in May. All funds raised will subsidise the students’ flights.

School Crossings
Dear Parents/Guardians,
It has been brought to our attention that an increasing number of students are crossing Foot Street in places other than the designated crossing spots (pedestrian crossings and intersections), when arriving at, or leaving from school. We will be reminding students of the need to ensure their own safety by crossing only in these places, both before and after school when entering and leaving the school. In particular, students should not be crossing Foot Street on the crest where Rowe Road and the exit of the drop off zone connect with Foot Street. We would also request that you discuss this with your child and ensure that, in the interests of their own safety, they are meeting these expectations.
We thank you for your support in this matter.
Kind regards,
John Albiston
