CELEBRATING FRANKLIN!
TOGETHER WE LEARN
Franklin Netballers Show their Team Colours
Last Monday, the Franklin netball team travelled to Temora to
compete in the 3rd and 4th round of the PSSA knockout.
The girls played exceptionally well, working together as a team to
take down Temora West with a 35-8 victory. This brought the girls
into the 4th round to play against Temora Public School.
Again, the girls showed their talents with Mia defending
extremely well, with Kaitlin and Allie shooting accurately. In the
mid court, Sienna and Jayda forced many turnovers.
Unfortunately the competition was too strong and Temora won
this game.
As a result the girls are now out of the knockout competition, but they played with gusto to make it into the 4th round of the knockout
competition.
Sydney Grammar School Concert Band to visit Franklin
Band members are excited about the upcoming visit from the Sydney Grammar School
Concert Band on Tuesday July 3rd. They will perform for us and work with our band
students. In the lead up to this event all band members are asked to practice at least
three times a week, and parents are asked to sign practice books each week.
A reminder that clarinet reeds are available from the office for $4 each.
Highlands Cross Country
On Friday the 8th June, 17 students from across our school travelled to the
Tumbarumba Racecourse for the 2018 Highlands Cross Country.
It was a wet and miserable day but this didn’t stop our students from
representing our school with pride and determination. While all students
achieved outstanding results in their races, special mention must go to
Will Jamieson (8/9 Year Old Boys), Angelina Winner (10 Year Old Girls) and
Matthew Ferguson (11 Year Old Boys) for finishing in the top four of their
respective races. They are now off to Gundagai for the Riverina Cross
Country on Thursday the 14th June (this week). All students are to be
commended for their behaviour at the carnival and a massive thank you
goes to the parents who helped Mr Crane on the day.
We love to learn
