SCHOOL UNIFORM CHECKS
It is important that all Frankston High School students are dressed in the correct school uniform and are following the school’s Uniform policy. We will be conducting uniform checks in Term 3, so these school holidays are an ideal opportunity for you to review the Uniform policy and ensure you have all of the required items.
The Uniform policy is written in detail in the students’ diaries and on the school website.
Non school uniform items like hoodies, logoed hats and jewellery must not be worn. It is also important to ensure that decisions made over the school holidays will not be in breach of the uniform policy once school resumes. For example, fake nails, nail polish, facial piercings, extreme hair cuts (like rat tails and shaved patterns) and colours are not part of the uniform guidelines. There are consequences like detention for students who are out of uniform.

STUDENT SUPERVISION BEFORE AND AFTER SCHOOL
Please be aware that teachers are on duty in the grounds on the:
7-10 Campus: from 8.30am until 3.40pm.
Senior Campus: from 8.00am until 3.40pm.
It is advisable for students to arrive at school after supervision begins unless they have:
- scheduled class time
- a planned activity (eg semper squad)
Please note that some buses leave after the conclusion of yard duty. Students are expected to behave in a responsible manner when in school uniform, before and after school. The public often contact Frankston High School to comment on the excellent behaviour of students in public areas.

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.
