The new students looked resplendent in their uniforms although I’m sure some had been worn-in on many a test day. They eagerly greeted their Year 6 buddies and, with much anticipation, entered the classroom for the start of their school careers.

Transition visits and the “buddy” system meant that school was certainly familiar and non-threatening, so parting from mums, dads, grandparents and carers was smooth and dry-eyed.

We at St Peter’s are looking forward to a fabulous 2020 school year with all the fun, learning and exciting activities that each school day brings.
