Dear Franklin Families,

We were finally able to hold our School Association Annual General Meeting last week. The meeting was held online using Zoom providing the opportunity to acknowledge all that has been achieved this year and recognise the vital role the School Association plays in the continuing success of the school.

Thank you to all those parents and staff who will either be continuing or have nominated to be new committee members. On behalf of the school community I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate and thank Carolyn Irving on becoming the School Association Chairperson. Carolyn will be supported by Jess Watson as Vice Chairperson, Laura Quittenden as Treasurer, and Bec Leaper as Secretary. I would also like to acknowledge the following committee members, Lyn Cotterill, Todd Watson, Kate Johnston and Eleanor Rix

This week’s ‘Wacky Wednesday’ is the first of many activities planned by the School Association to raise funds for the new Kindergarten playground development.

COVID 19

As mentioned before, from the beginning of Term 3 there have been some easing of COVID-19 restrictions. Thank you everyone for continuing to support the Stop Drop and Go approach and not entering classrooms unless absolutely necessary. Parents should also limit the time spent on school grounds, including the playground, their interactions and follow physical distancing requirements at all times. Thank you also to everyone who has gone to the front office to fill out the Visitor Health Screening Form if you are at school for more lengthy visits. Teachers are continuing to ensure that good hygiene standards are maintained by students and where required, that adults follow the physical distancing restrictions required in schools.

Have a great week.
