Book Packs & Voluntary Contributions
We would like to thank all families for their ongoing support of our school. This support plays an important part in meeting our students' wellbeing and educational needs.
This year students were provided with a pack of stationery items (Book Pack) to assist with teaching and learning at Franklin School. Book Packs provide stationery items students use throughout the year for subjects such as Literacy, Mathematics, Arts and Science amongst many others.
Financial support from families in the form of voluntary contributions assists in meeting our students educational needs where funding provided by the Education Directorate needs support. Some examples of where these contributions have helped the school include, school sporting equipment, library books, resources and computer technology as well as to fund curriculum materials in science, technology, languages as well as programs like our Small Group Program.
While payments are voluntary under the ACT Education ACT 2004, and no student will be disadvantaged by not paying their Book Pack contributions, these contributions are used to enhance and extend the materials that the school supplies our children. Your financial support makes a difference to the education of your child at Franklin School and is greatly appreciated.
2024 Book packs can be purchased from Maxim.
Go straight to the Maxim website https://www.maximofficegroup.com.au/ and just place the items from the book pack list in the cart (online shopping). If you already have some of the items (eg scissors), you don't have to repurchase them, instead bring the one's you have to school.
