Monday 30 April 2012 Edition 12 Week 2 Term 1

I commend our students on their positive and

cooperative start to a very busy term 2. Their

demonstrated enthusiasm for learning makes

Franklin a special school.

Our 73 Stage 3 students have arrived safely at

Milson Island Camp and are enjoying a wide

range of outdoor activities including archery,

fishing, kayaking and challenge ropes.

ANZAC SERVICE 2012 school leaders, Ruby Acland, Riley Green,

Melissa Grant, Tatiania-Lee Douglas. Presley Lee and

Zack Turvey represented the Franklin School

community at the Tumut ANZAC service.

This year students and staff marched in the street

procession and later on Ruby and Riley laid a wreath at

the cenotaph on behalf of Franklin School. It was also pleasing to see members of the Franklin

Concert Band playing with the Tumut Town Band on

the day.

SNOWY CROSS COUNTRY CHAMPIONS

Perfect conditions allowed our cross country athletes to

shine last Thursday. The enthusiasm, effort and

participation of students were a highlight.

A large gathering of supportive parents and grandparents

combined with the excellent organization of the event by

Mr Wheaton ensured Franklin’s 2012 cross country

carnival was an outstanding success. Forest claimed the

Bellette Family Cross Country Shield ahead of Snowy

and Capper. (Results Page 2)

FESTIVAL of the FALLING LEAF

Congratulations go to many students, staff and parents

for their marvellous contribution to Franklin’s

participation in the parade last Saturday. Our

‘Bookworm’ was a highlight and drew copious praise

and considerable comment from the large gathering in

attendance. This combined with students’ colourful

clothing and their decorated bikes and scooters ensured

Franklin students will take fond memories of the 2012

Festival of the Falling Leaf.

Thank you Ms Nixon for creating the colourful bookworm

and the students who brought the ‘worm to life’ as it

wriggled its way down Wynyard Street.

SCHOOL AS COMMUNITY CENTRE NEWS Franklin's Walking School Bus - Every Wednesday Morning and Afternoon

Do you live in or around Laurel Pl, Banksia Crst, Forest St, Lambie St, Gadara Pl or Simpson St? Do your children walk to and home from school? Why not jump on Franklin's Walking School Bus!

A walking school bus is aimed at K-Year 3 kids (but all students are welcome) who walk to and from school along a safe and enjoyable set route. There is also a bus driver and conductor, one ‘drives’ the bus from the front while the conductor supervises from behind. Extra parents are more that welcome to

come along for the ride and the walking bus will pick children up along the way, and after school, drops them off on the designated walk back. The walking school bus promotes a safe way for kids to travel to school; it will give children an opportunity to expand on their road sense and traffic safety

skills. It can also create friendships and a sense of place and community in your area.

Franklin’s Walking School bus will leave at 8.30 from outside of Tumut Regional Family Services and make our way to Franklin School arriving at around 8.50 am. When you see us or hear the whistle, jump on and let’s travel to school safely together. For more information or to volunteer to be a driver or conductor, please call Krystle on 6947 6961, or drop in to the Schools as Community Centres Building.
