Camperdown College welcomed 31 Prep students this year.

Last week saw students return to school, with 55 Prep/Foundation students beginning their schooling journeys.

Lismore Primary School welcomed Preps Kit and Dustyn on Tuesday, January 30.

The pair have already shown high amounts of energy and enthusiasm in their first week.

St Patrick’s Primary School in Camperdown saw 19 Foundation students pass through the gates this year, with teacher Pru Darcy guiding them through their first year of school.

Derrinallum P-12 College saw three Preps beginning their schooling last week, with teacher Chloe O’Brien guiding students Axel, Alaska and Fletcher.

Camperdown College saw 31 new Prep students start their schooling this year, with the cohort split between two classrooms.

Camperdown College principal Xavier Davis said he, like many other principals, hoped to see the Preps have a settled start to their year and get into their daily routines.

“It’s wonderful to see such a friendly group of Preps come in, all really well-settled after a huge transition program at the end of last year,” he said.

“I’m really excited to see them on their journey.”
