Grey skies couldn't dampen the excitement of the first day of school for our new Year 7 students! We welcomed our families to drop their kids off, not before a quick photo to remember this milestone occasion.
While it was clear our parents were more nervous than our students, at the end of the day, many of the students said they felt more confident about starting high school.
The following day, parents came to see off their children for their first day of Kindergarten. Principal Mark De Vries and Kindy teachers Miss Fitzalan and Mrs Finucane were around to ease the nerves and provide assurance to both parents and children.
