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!

SAFETY RESPECT ACHIEVEMENT

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.
