November 2015 Edition 39 Week 9 Term 4
During the school year we have achieved many great
accomplishments. As a school
community we
have been
involved in many community
events including
ANZAC Day, Lanterns on the
Lagoon,
NAIDOC Day celebrations, Proud and Deadly awards and individual
students have excelled in academic, cultural and sporting
events.
Bluearth has been an
outstanding program where the
students have been building team work, co-operation and
encouragement through sport.
Tikirah’s outstanding effort
on receiving The NSW
Exceptional Young Person
Award for Generosity at
Government House this year
was an amazing experience
for her. Franklin School is
very proud of her
achievement.
Franklin School
continues to grow in
academic strength. I am privileged to work
with such a strong team
of professionals who deliver quality learning
opportunities to your
children every day. Our
teachers are really making a difference!
Our classrooms are in the process of being refurbished to
cater for creative ways of learning.
Technology across the
school has been
enhanced along with our outdoor learning
environments.
Having families come into Franklin School and being a
part of your child’s educational journey is so very
important to all of us. Grandparents
Day was an amazing
day and it was great to see so many
families in the
school sharing the
morning with our students. We always
welcome your visits
to our school.
The wonderful opportunity for the school choir to sing at
the Opera House is a memory that will last a lifetime.
These opportunity’s
don’t just
happen they happen
because we
have hard working,
committed staff who plan, organise and work towards
ensuring students achieve success.
This year we have had the opportunity of forming a new
partnership with the Red
Cross. Red Cross has supported us in running
our breakfast program
three mornings a week. We are grateful for their
support in assisting with
this program. Over 7000 breakfasts have
been served!

As a school community we have so many things to be proud of this year. Last week when talking to
Mrs Green our Instructional Leader, we celebrated
the successes in particular our Stage One students who have achieved so much educationally this year.
When we look back at our 2015 kindergarten
students, we see just how much they have learnt and
grown this year. Wow! Another very proud moment for staff.

Last Day
In the next couple of weeks we farewell Year 6. In their time at Franklin, they have had many memorable moments from their very first day in kindergarten and their continued quest to learn and grow both in and out of our classrooms. The extra-curricular opportunities they have gained, along with the amazing excursions where they visited Canberra, Mogo, Milson Island and Victoria and the great learning opportunities at the Riverina Environmental Education Centre and the visiting performers who have visited Franklin to share their skills and talents, all contributed to their wide and varied experiences at our school.
