Student Voice

Lucy Swan and Amber Jeffery are our budding news reporters

writing for Student Voice this week.

Amber: Lucy:.

Hello everyone, my name is Lucy Swan and I am

in Macarthur in Year 6 with Miss Rampling. She

is the best teacher!

Can you believe that it’s already Week 7? This

year is going so fast! High school is coming up

and I am pretty excited. I am also sad because I

have had a good time at Franklin. Like the time I

won the Spelling Bee in Kindergarten, Year two,

Year four and came second this year.

Last Friday Year 6 went up to high school for a

whole day. We went to different classes every

hour by using a timetable.

Last Friday back at school there was Banks’

assembly. Filled with awards, tokens and wrist

bands.

Hope you all have a great week!

Hi my name is Amber Jeffery and I am in

Year 6 in Macarthur.

It is Week 7 at Franklin and the end of the

school year is coming in fast. Sadly for Year 6

their time at Franklin is coming to an end.

The Year 6 farewell dinner and assembly is

being planned and the final transition at

Tumut High happened last Friday.

I have lots of great memories from this

school. One that stands out is when I danced

to a song called ‘pen, pineapple, apple, pen’

in front of the whole of Stage 2.

Swim school will commence on Monday,

December the 2nd

for all students who have

their notes and money in. This is for students

who are yet to learn to swim 25 metres.

On Friday, Stage 2 students have an

excursion (lucky stage 2).

Thanks for reading my student voice!

Swimming School starts on Monday 2nd December, 2019.

Your child will need to bring these items to school each day.
