With backpacks they could fit in, huge hats, and bright, shiny new shoes, the first of the 2025 Preps strode into a whole new world on Tuesday. For a few, the new reality of school was a little overwhelming, but tears quickly turned into curiosity as they explored their new classroom and made new friends. Others strode in confidently, ready to take on numbers, letters, and the unknown challenges ahead.
The first day was spent slowly learning their new routine, how to do ‘full body listening’, and navigating their way to important places like the toilet and playground. One bubbly Preppie enquired with her teacher at fruit break, ‘You look hungry – do you want some of mine?’ as she reached out her container of berries. It’s good to know that not only will the Preps be looked after by the teachers, but the teachers will also be looked after by the Preps!
