Located in the Gungahlin network, Franklin School is a P-6 school with approximately 545 students. The school vision is to create confident and involved learners, who have a strong sense of identity and wellbeing. Students are engaged in an environment where learning is dynamic, fun, challenging and focuses on success and achievement. The current school priorities are to improve spelling, reading and writing for all students, improve mathematical outcomes and maintain strong student levels of wellbeing.
Franklin's school philosophy and values are implemented through the curriculum and pedagogy. The curriculum represents extensive coverage of the Australian Curriculum content descriptors, achievement standards and general capabilities. The programs complement the skills, behaviours and attributes that students need to succeed in life and work in the twenty-first century.
Franklin's learning programs are delivered through an integrated learning model where genuine and authentic, real connections can be made. Integrated inquiry units are described using the language of
