Miles Franklin Primary School

Miles Franklin Primary School is a primary school in Evatt, Canberra. The school is named after Australian author Miles Franklin and was opened in 1980; as Franklin's novel My Brilliant Career had received public acclaim in 1979, it seemed right for the school to be named after her.[1].Each year the school celebrates her birthday with a writing competition and an 'old fashion' dress up day. During this day the students are involved in a variety of activities from yester year.
The school's colours are red, blue and white.
They have three houses, all named after Australian authors:
The houses compete in swimming carnivals, athletics carnivals, and to a lesser extent, cross country races.
