PREPPIES across Casey took the first steps in their long education journey last week as they started school last week.
Marking a milestone occasion for both the students and parents, preps students celebrated their first day of school last week with much excitement.
News photographer ROB CAREW visited River Gum Primary School in Hampton Park to capture plenty of cute faces as they enjoyed learning in the classroom.
River Gum principal Roma McKinnon said it was always an exciting time welcoming preps to start school.
“We would like to welcome all our new foundation students and families to River Gum Primary School,” she said.
“The students have had some very busy days and have settled in extremely well.
“We are very fortunate to have such lovely students and families joining our school community.
“We are looking forward to what we are sure will be a brilliant year.”
