Monday 25 August 2014 Edition 27 Week 7 Term 3
Our school performance ‘Franklin in Time’ is fast
approaching. All students will be attending the matinee
shows as part of our school program. Teachers should have
been informed by now if your child is unable to attend the
evening performances. This is really important as stage
positions need to be rehearsed.
All required costumes need to be shown to staff this week so
we are assured all students are wearing the correct
costumes.
If you are able to sew costumes please contact the school
office, as your assistance will be appreciated.

This is a hilarious musical comedy, imaginatively told by

hilariously Ocker, from the lingo to the names to the
shearers’ blue singlets... Kids Book Review 2011

BOYS BASKETBALL TEAM
WINS CLIFFHANGER Our boys’ basketball team continued on their winning way
with a last second win against Kooringal PS last Friday. The
boys started slowly and were behind 13 to 6 at quarter time. At half time Kooringal had extended their lead and Franklin
was trailing by 20 points to 6. The third quarter was the
turning point for the game, with Franklin piling on 16 points and changing the momentum of the game. The scores were
locked 28 all at three quarter time. The final quarter was a
close tussle as the teams swapped the lead. With two seconds to play and Kooringal ahead by one point, the ball was passed
to Shay Thomas who scored the winning basket to give
Franklin a 39 to 38 win. Congratulations to Jack O’Malley,
Josh Kell, Shay Thomas, Will King, Lachlan Piper, Michael Vaughan, Craig Johnson and Ethan Dutton for showing a
great fighting spirit, never giving up and being triumphant in
the end. The boys’ team now take on Narrandera PS to decide who will be Riverina region winners. We would like to thank
Jason Beavan for refereeing the game, Mrs Armstrong for
coaching the team and the parents who provided transport and cheered the boys on.
CARMEN AND ZETA VISIT FRANKLIN

Last Friday, Stage 1 had a visit from Carmen and her lovely dog Zeta, who helped our students learn a safe
way to approach and greet a dog. The visit was a part
of the Responsible Pet Education Program which aims to teach students how to “read” a dog to discover if
they are happy, scared or angry and how to respond to
these types of dogs. For more information about the
program, please visit the Responsible Pet Ownership website at http://www.pets.nsw.gov.au/
