Embracing Community, Growing Together

Welcome back to Term 2 at Franklin Primary! As we dive into this new term, I am thrilled to share how our school vision, "Embracing Community, Growing Together," continues to shape and inspire all our endeavours.

Our vision is more than just a statement; it is the heartbeat of our school. It guides our actions, decisions, and interactions, ensuring that we foster a nurturing environment where every member of our community feels valued and supported. This term, we have already seen this vision come to life in numerous ways.

Celebrating Our Recent Trip to SDK Islam Mutiara Kreatif Sholeh

One of the highlights of our journey together has been our recent trip to SDK Islam Kreatif Mutiara Sholeh. This visit was a testament to our commitment to embracing community and growing together. Mr Milne, Miss Ella and Miss Bec had the opportunity to engage with their colleagues from a different cultural background, fostering mutual respect and understanding. The trip was filled with enriching experiences, from collaborative projects to cultural exchanges, all of which contributed to the personal growth of our staff and therefore our community.

A Wonderful Start to Term 2

Returning from such an experience I was delighted to see our classrooms buzzing with such focused learning. Our teachers and support staff have created engaging and dynamic learning environments where students are encouraged to take ownership of their education. This approach not only enhances academic achievement but also instils a sense of responsibility and self-discipline in our students. I continue to implore you to be active in your child’s learning not only at school but at home.

Promoting Positive Behaviours

We believe that positive behaviours are the foundation of a thriving school community. This term, we are emphasizing the importance of students being responsible for their own positive behaviours. Our Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) framework continues to guide our efforts, ensuring that students understand the impact of their actions and are motivated to make positive choices. This is something as a community should continue to be celebrated.

Attendance and Readiness to Learn

A gentle reminder to all our families: regular attendance is crucial for your child's success. Every day counts, and being present at school ensures that students do not miss out on valuable learning opportunities. Additionally, please ensure that your child comes to school ready to learn, equipped with the necessary materials and a positive mindset. Together, we can create an environment where every student thrives.

Looking Ahead

As we move forward, let us continue to embrace our community and grow together. I am confident that with your support, we will achieve great things this term. Thank you for being an integral part of our Franklin Primary family.

Warm regards,

James Milne
Principal, Franklin Primary School
