Thousands of children across the Geelong region have started prep this year and the Addy’s photographers have been on hand to capture the special moment.

We‘ve headed to dozens of primary schools to photograph prep classes in the coming weeks.

All images will run in a special print keepsake – My First Year – inside your Addy on March 26.

Digital subscribers have access to a sneak peek with our exclusive online prep photo gallery out now.

We’ve also published a special gallery of funny faces pictures from all the schools we visited.

Can’t find your school below? Contact your school to find out if it’s taking part in this year’s initiative.

Parents can also purchase a copy of the photo.
