Dear Students, Families, and the community of Franklin Primary, 

Welcome back to another exciting school year! I hope you all had a wonderful and restful break. It’s a great pleasure to see our school buzzing with enthusiasm and vibrant energy once again. The first two weeks have flown by, and I wanted to take this opportunity to extend my heartfelt gratitude to everyone who has contributed to a smooth and successful start to 2025. 

To Our Students and Families: Thank you for your continued support and engagement. Your commitment to education is evident in the eager faces we see in our classrooms every day. It is your enthusiasm and positive attitude that set the tone for a wonderful year of learning and growth. Together, we will make this year remarkable! 

To Our Incredible Staff: A big thank you for your tireless efforts in preparing the school and classrooms for our students' return. Your dedication to creating a welcoming and stimulating environment does not go unnoticed. It’s because of your hard work and passion that our school is a place where students thrive and feel inspired to embark on their learning journeys. Your commitment to excellence is truly appreciated. 

School Updates: We are thrilled to announce the completion of the new upper primary outdoor decking and cover! This addition provides a fantastic space for outdoor learning, relaxation, and socialization. It will undoubtedly enhance the school experience for our upper primary students, offering them a versatile area to enjoy throughout the year. We look forward to seeing this new space come to life with the activities and creativity of our students. 

As we move forward into this new year, I am confident that together we will continue to achieve our priorities of student safety, attendance and improved results in reading. Let’s embrace the opportunities that lie ahead and support one another in our collective journey of learning and growth. 

Thank you once again for being part of our wonderful school community. Here’s to a fantastic 2025! 

Warm regards, 

James Milne Principal
