There’s no doubt starting prep is a high point of early childhood – first uniform, first packed lunch, and the opportunity to make a whole host of new friends.

All the schools involved in our special prep class photo gallery:
- Bollon State School
- Injune P-10 School
- Mitchell State School
- Morven State School
