Student Voice This year a range of our senior students will be writing

newsletter articles each week to get student opinions of

What is happening in our school.

I wanted to interview some Kindergartens to find out if they are having a wonderful time and as a school captain, I would like to welcome them to Franklin. Jessica -budding journalist

Oliver from Banks

Oliver said that he

learnt a lot of new

things at Franklin, like

music. Oliver likes his

buddy Kian very much

and Franklin Public

School is great fun,

especially when you

play on the gym equipment.

Todd from Cook

Todd said he loves

Kindergarten at

Franklin, playing with

his new friends. His

buddy Kaleb is very

welcoming and best of

all Mr Crane is a nice

teacher.

Mr Reddy’s

His first day at Franklin was exciting because he met future friends. He said it was a challenge to learn names, rules and the different routines. Mr Reddy is eager to be welcomed to the Franklin Public School family. He loved the easy access to technology for all students and the smiling happy faces of the school.

Interviews with our newest members of the

An Interview With one of Our School

Captains — Jess

What it's like to be a

school captain?

It’s hard thinking you are

responsible for duties,

but Jess believes that she

can do it if she puts her

mind to it.

It's good that she has

other prefects to help her.

She loves doing all her jobs because it is fun

and it shows respect and makes her feel part of

the Franklin school community.
