Dear Families,

A reminder that there is planned stop work action by Tasmanian Unions tomorrow and this means that our school will be temporarily closed for educational instruction until 11am.

We ask that students arrive from 11.00am for a 11.30am start but understand this may not be possible for some families. Also please note that bus operators will not be adjusting their timetables in response to the later school starting time.

We recognise these closures due to industrial action will impact families; it is regrettable that school closure action is necessary, however, we must be able to ensure adequate safety and supervision of students.  If you are concerned you will be unable to make alternative arrangements for your child, please contact our office as soon as possible. 

Thank you for your understanding and support.

James Milne

Dear Families, 

As you may already know, Tasmanian Unions, including the Australian Education Union (AEU) and other school-based unions, have directed members to participate in stop work action next week.

For the Southern region, the stop work action is planned for Thursday, 30 October 2025.

As a result it has been determined that our school will be temporarily closed for educational instruction until after 11am on this day. With a number of staff participating in the stop work action, our school will be unable to provide adequate duty of care for students and therefore we ask that students arrive from 11:00am for a 11.30am start. Please be assured that normal school arrangements will resume as the school reopens.  

Please also note that bus operators will not be adjusting their timetables in response to the later school starting time. 

We recognise these closures due to industrial action will impact families; it is regrettable that school closure action is necessary, however, we must be able to ensure adequate safety and supervision of students.  If you are concerned you will be unable to make alternative arrangements for your child, please contact our office as soon as possible.

We want to hear from you, as input from families is very important to help us inform our school-planning and decision-making. Every year the Department for Education, Children and Young People conducts a School Satisfaction Survey to find out what your child(ren)'s school does well and where it may improve.

We would be grateful if you took part in our online survey about Franklin Primary School.

The survey is open from Monday 25 August 2025 until Friday 19 September 2025 and should take about 5 minutes to complete.

Each family should nominate one person to fill in this survey for their child(ren).

Take the online survey by clicking this Link, or pasting it in your browser: https://nam.dcv.ms/9IgLLyToMQ

The survey is carried out on a secure website and all responses are anonymous and confidential.

All families in this school received the same survey link and no identifying information is collected. A summary of the survey results will be provided to schools.  Responses from individuals or small groups will NOT be disclosed to any Department for Education, Children and Young People staff.

Please contact your school if you require any assistance.

Thank you for taking the time to fill in this survey.
