EXCITED Preps started their school journey at St Agatha’s Primary School recently.
The Preps enjoyed a tour of the Cranbourne school and new buildings, sang a song, had morning prayer with parish priest Father Denis O’Bryan and played games on the first day.
Prep teacher Marsha Van Cuylenburg said there were no tears on the first day, adding that a parent had commented about how much fun their child had on the first day. “They were all very happy to be there and excited to be big school kids,” she said.
About 67 Preps are enrolled at the school, and are now settling in to a full schedule.
