Our reporters decided to interview two new staff members. Ovanna: I spoke to Mrs Crain, class teacher of Flinders. Mrs Crain where were you teaching before you came to Franklin? I was at Adelong Public School in 2019 and before that in Wagga and also Sydney. How is Franklin different to your last school? It is a much bigger school than the school I was at last year. Some children feel nervous when they have to change schools, so were you feeling nervous before you had to start here at Franklin? Yes I was feeling a bit nervous, but everyone is making me feel welcome here. What have you enjoyed so far about teaching here? I love teaching new students each year and there are lots of great opportunities for learning at this school. What are you looking forward to at Franklin? I am looking forward to getting to know all of the staff and students at FPS this year. Kayla: I spoke to Mr Crane, teacher of Cook. Mr Crane what was it like teaching in England? In England I got to teach at almost 50 different schools and I got to meet students from all over the world. Franklin students are still the best students in the world! Do you think you will go to any other countries to teach? I enjoyed teaching in England and I think Canada would be a great place to teach, but for now I’m very happy to be teaching at Franklin. What do you enjoy most about teaching Kindergarten? I enjoy seeing the growth of the students from the start of the year until the end of the year. I know Mr Crane loves his football so I asked him to give me some predictions for the coming season. Do you think Tumut will win the Group 9 Grand Final again this year? Gundagai Tigers to win in 2020! (Sorry Zac Masters) Can the Roosters win three NRL titles in a row? YES!!

TOGETHER WE LEARN
Milson Island
Stage 3 students had a wonderful
time at Milson Island last week. The
weather was kind and students got
to experience a range of activities.
Students followed our PBL values
and were very encouraging of each
other in all activity participation.
Staff at the centre were terrific and
even though our staff didn’t have
service for the first few days none of
the student activities or safety was
compromised.
A big thank you to Franklin staff who
went along. What a great week!
