We went to school with the Mackay, Isaac, and Whitsunday preppies for their very first day and asked what they were excited for.
“Playing” was the most common answer, but learning will be just as exciting if the region’s prep teachers have anything to do with it.
On their first day at Eimeo Road State School, Layla Dalwood said she was looking forward to creating with Playdough while Hamilton Hendry was keen on the Legos.
Miles from Koumala State School said he was keen to try out the school’s computers, whereas his classmate Mia enjoyed the ride on the school bus.
