2021 Compass Cards
With the rollout of the 2021 Compass Cards, can we please remind students that cards need to be at school and available at all times. Cards must be carried to sign in and out of the Compass Kiosks, to borrow books from the library, to access printers/photocopiers around the school, and to purchase items at the canteen. An ideal place to keep your card is in your laptop bag, student diary or pencil case. Lost cards must be replaced: replacement cards can be ordered from Compass for $10. If a student also requires an ID Card for public transport/concessions, it is useful to purchase a second card so that one permanently remains at school.
SCHOOL DENTAL PROGRAM
FREE SERVICE
Over the next few days students will receive a form from the School Dental Program. Should you like to use this FREE service please complete the form (copy provided below) and return this week or the first few days of Term 2.

OPTIMA SEMPER
THE OPTIMA magazine was developed by students within the SLC (Student Leadership Council) and launched last year. Our second issue is packed with tonnes of exciting interviews and achievements of students from Years 7-12, as well as insights into some of your favourite colleagues. We thank the incredible Lu Yang (Year 11) who put this issue together, taking the reins from the spectacular work of Tavishek (Tavi) Sharma last year. We could not be prouder of our SLC students and the entire Frankston High School student body for their passion and commitment to such an array of hobbies.
We hope you enjoy Issue 2!

STUDENTS DRIVING TO SCHOOL
Any student of legal driving age who intends to drive to school, either on a regular basis or occasionally, must comply with the school requirements and is required to complete the Parent Permission and Student Agreement Form. These forms are attached below and also available from the Senior Office.
SCHOOL DROP OFF AND PICK UP
As we are all aware, we have very limited parking in the Frankston High School grounds for parents picking up their children at the end of the school day. If you organise to meet your children in the drop off zone and they are not waiting for you when you arrive, please do not block the passage of cars trying to get through. If all of the unofficial spaces to the sides of the drop off zone are occupied when you arrive, please continue through the centre of the drop off zone, turn left out of the school into Foot Street, proceed down to the roundabout at Baileyana Street and then do a loop back up and around the Towerhill Road roundabout and back into the drop off zone.
Our preference has always been for parents to park in one of the side streets surrounding the school and wait for children to come to you. Thank you very much to the many parents who already do this.
It is much safer for students to be dropped off to school at the gate of Baileyana Street and then for them to walk across the oval.
Also, a reminder, face masks are mandatory on public transport.
We thank you for your cooperation.
CROSSING THE ROAD
REMINDER TO BUS TRAVELLERS
All students who travel to and from school via the public buses are reminded to only use the black and white ‘zebra crossings’ on Towerhill Road and Foot Street to get to and from bus stops, before and after school.
Traffic is extremely congested on the streets before and after school. It is not safe for students to cross the roads anywhere but the zebra crossings at any time, but especially before and after school. Parents are asked to discuss with their children, the importance of this matter.
