Debating Round Three took place this week with our two senior teams having the daunting task of secret topic debates to contest with just one hour's preparation. Both teams constructed very detailed cases: well done by all and congratulations to C-Grade for an impressive win - with Paul K named best speaker in his debate.
D- Grade debaters were narrowly defeated but James B was adjudged best speaker for their debate. Well done to all - Round 4 in a fortnight's time!

The recent bake sale, BBQ and free dress day have all been great activities for the students. They have also raised a lot of money for charity. The 3 student leaders who spoke at College Council on Wednesday in the last week of term and gave a student leadership report, did an excellent job.

The Parents' Association at Forest Hill College would like to welcome all students and parents back to school in 2012.

We would love to expand our membership so if you are interested in learning what is happening in the school first hand from our Principal Jenny Cook (who is present at our meetings), if you would like to have a voice in order to express your ideas and effect change. If you would like to help out at various events occurring within the school and maybe the odd sausage sizzle and the Second hand Book & Uniform sale or you would just enjoy meeting some other fantastic parents in our school community, then please contact me or come to one of our meetings. PA meetings are held on the third Monday of
every month and start at 7.00pm in the conference room (near the General Office). They are a great way to find out all of the things that are happening in our school that students forget to mention to their parents and gain knowledge of what students are doing in other year levels.

Meeting Dates for 2012-02-07

20/02, 19/03 AGM, 16./04, 21/05, 18./6,16/07, 20/08,17/09, 15/10, 19/11

All parents and guardians are welcome.

On Wednesday 19 October we held our Parent Information Night for the Year 7 Digital Learning Program in 2012.

In response to feedback from parents and students over the last two years we have adopted a smaller device, making it easier to transport to and from classes and the College, and fitting neatly and securely into lockers and bags.

On the night, families were provided with information about the purchase of the device.

There are two options for purchase:

•  Outright purchase via a one off payment of $752.40 INC GST (excluding additional option costs)

•  Financed purchase over three years via, one upfront payment of $165.00 and 36 individual monthly payments of $37.80, (inclusive of additional options).

Forest Hill College provides onsite technical support for the device and all software licensing outside of what is provided by DEECD in order to keep the overall expenses associated with your purchase at a minimum.

If you have not yet received your information package you are able to download the appropriate documentation from the website link below, alternatively you can contact the College on 03 9814 9400 or call in to collect one.
