On the last day of the first week of school, Yarra Glen Primary School preppies walked into the school with a light heart.
By Friday, which was their third day at school, the new students already settled into the new environment as they’d made new friends and got used to the school system.
Yarra Glen Primary School prep teacher Jess Nahon said 16 prep students have enrolled this year.
“They’re really settled. Lots of them have siblings here and they love seeing their older sisters and brothers at the school,” she said.
“They’ve gotten into the routines really well. They’re all friendly with each other.
“In the first week, we do our Quality Beginning Program. It’s just getting to know each other, school expectations and classroom expectations.
“During the first few weeks, I try to get to know each child; what they like, what they’re excited about, what they might be nervous about.”
