NRL

Today we had an exciting visit from

James Smart, the NRL Development

Officer, who brought along Nathan

Hindmarsh a Parramatta Eels football

legend. They addressed all students

at an assembly today. The students

were pleased to be involved in some

photo opportunities with the sporting

great.

A BIG Thank You to all of the staff and students who

represented Franklin School on ANZAC Day.

The day began with Colby and Natalie reading the names

of local soldiers killed in action during World War 1 at

the dawn service. Students marched in the Anzac Parade

and the school choir sang “Lest We Forget” at the

cenotaph. Joey and Tikirah read a prayer and Rhys and

Riley laid the wreath.

THE FESTIVAL OF THE FALLING LEAF PARADE

Franklin will be entering a float in the Festival of the

Falling Leaf Parade this Saturday 30th of April. As is it

themed around our birthday celebrations, we would like

as many students to represent our school

by marching in the parade.

We have asked the students to wear

colourful party clothes for the parade

and to wear a glitter hat if possible.

Students have been asked to meet staff in

the Richmond Park at 11:30am where we will be

marshalled in readiness for the parade.

Look for the whirly gigs!

Your child will have their name marked off and then

supervised until we complete the parade march. Your

child/children will need to be collected straight after the

parade in the Merrivale/Russell Street area.

Netball Gala Day Tuesday 5th

April 2016

Riley Hillier, Jayde Randall, Sharlie Thomas, Jade Reinders,

Bethany Rapley, Natalie Erbacher, Sophie Day, Tikirah

Douglas, Ella Bradshaw and Abby Sutton travelled to the

netball courts on Tuesday to compete in the NSW Netball

Schools Cup.

We played four games throughout the day against Tumut

Public, Gundagai and McAuley. Our first game was against a

Tumut Public Team. Our girls defence was phenomenal and

the shooters were on fire. We won this game 10-3. Our next

game was against McAuley where we won 6-3. Our third

game was against Tumut Public, who proved to be hard

competition. Our girls played extremely well and didn’t give

up the whole game, persisting in attack and defence. The final

game we played Gundagai Public School. We were exhausted

in the hot temperatures and Gundagai was strong competition.

This game was tough and the scores were neck and neck the

entire game, with Gundagai just pulling ahead at the end.

At the end of the day, six of our girls trialled for the

Highlands team with three selected: Tikirah Douglas, Riley

Hillier and Ella Bradshaw. They will compete in Albury early

in Term 2.

A huge thank you to Lauren Hawkin for umpiring for us for

the day and the parents who came to support and score.

Without you, this day wouldn’t run as smoothly..

Miss Gould
