An exciting time for most kids and parents is that feeling of heading back to school after the Christmas holidays. It can be one that seems a little daunting and maybe a little sad when the babies of families head off to Kindergarten to begin the first day of the rest of their lives.

We caught up with some keen youngsters to get their take on starting Kindergarten at big school.



Kinder 1: Taylah Redfern starts school at Millthorpe Primary School; I feel very good about starting school, I was excited to buy my shoes. My big brother and sister will be at the same school as me now.


Kinder 2: Frankie Price starts at Millthorpe Primary School; I’m excited to go to big school because my two brothers are there, I liked buying my bag for school and I’m not going to be sad! I’m going to be happy!


Kinder 3: Myla Kennewell starts at St Mary’s Primary School; I’m excited to make some friends, I will feel very happy on my first day. I enjoyed shopping for my school dress.


Kinder 4: Phoebe Kennewell starts at St Mary’s Primary School; I can’t wait to do school work, I will be happy on my first day of school and I was excited to shop for my lunch box.
