Coldstream Primary School welcomed 15 new students, who took a huge step forward in their new journey, on Wednesday 29 January.
Some preppies found it difficult in their new surroundings while others enjoyed the beginning of the new adventure.
Prep classroom teacher Paul Garwood has already taken the role for two years at Coldstream Primary School and has more experience in the past years.
Mr Garwood said he would focus on building trust and relationships with the preppies.
“Everyone’s excited, apprehensive and nervous. It’s a big step for them,” he said.
“Their first week is always pretty interesting. It’s a really busy and crazy time of year; lots to do and lots to sort out.
“For the first week, it’s all about our identity as people and where we fit into the community. It’s building trust and relationships, getting to understand each other.”
