World of Math
"I enjoyed the World of Maths because the activities were fun to solve, and they had a range of different levels of difficulty. I found the challenging ones to be more FUN! Overall it was a great experience and exciting to do something a bit different."
Lorelei Tildesley, 8A
"The World of Maths was a fun way of testing your maths skills such as probability, fractions and trial and error plus so much more. During the World of Maths, you were given a piece of paper that shows all the activities, you partnered up and chose an activity. The point of doing the World of Maths is to help increase your math skills while also being entertained by the many activities making you want to learn and have fun while also catering for every body’s math level."
Adam Chapman, 8A
"The World of Math was an exciting class where we had fun and challenging visual problem solving questions that tested math skills such as trial and error, probability, number patterns and fractions. It was great fun working with your friends while solving the questions and when you got it right it is a wonderful feeling. There was a mixture of more difficult questions and easier questions which is good for students with different levels of math skill. I personally enjoyed the more difficult overall. It was a fun and different math class, that everyone enjoyed."
Chrisne Coetzee, 8A
"Our minds churning and creating sparks, putting our collaborative and mathematic skills into place. On 12 March classes came together to unravel questions at a Maths incursion. I enjoyed working in a collaborate environment, building off others, cracking equations and having the interactive workshops.
Challenges unfolded to test our skills when having an idea and explaining to the group, overcoming problems and communicating. Question’s proved our knowledge and problem solving skills, each question with a varying difficulty and aim.
Working in teams tested our patience as well as our cooperative behaviour, contributing and taking ideas to make mind maps and possible solutions.
The Maths Incursion was different to regular maths classes because of the joint efforts and coming to different workshops, some focusing on chance and probability, to angles, not focusing on just one topic but rounding our knowledge together and giving everything a go."
Olivia Mihailescu, 7C
"Today we participated in a very fun math session called World of Maths. We did problem solving and interactive activities that made you think. One of my favorite activities was when we had to try to work out how many barrels each person would get. In this activity there were questions asking how many more or less barrels each person got. This was very fun, and I hope to do it again."

Back to School
On Monday 18 March Calvin Gu (Class of 2018) was invited to come back to our school to be filmed for the Victorian Global Learning Awards. Calvin graduated from our school in 2018 after completing his VCE. He is now studying Film & TV at Swinburne University and is a very talented Media student. Calvin has been nominated for this award and he is very talented with this study as he has already received many distinguished awards from the Department of Education and Training (DET) and Frankston City Council for his exceptional ability to capture life on film.
We wish him all the best for the upcoming announcement of this State award and representing Frankston High School.

Robotics Incursion
On 20 March students from Year 7H and 7F participated in their Robotics Incursion day. The students were tasked with building a programmable Lego robot and making their robot perform certain tasks associated with self driving cars such as: Navigating a course, detecting and avoiding collision, recognising traffic light colour and reacting accordingly. Students used their critical and creative thinking skills to address the problems that they faced throughout the day by collaborating and sharing their ideas with peers.
