NEW Prep students at St Patrick’s Primary School in Pakenham flashed plenty of smiles at the camera on their first day earlier this week.
Leon, Heidi, Gemma, Bella and Kierra became fast friends on the playground on Monday 2 February and could not contain their excitement for the fun-filled year ahead.
Some of the Preps, including Kierra and Gemma, helped build wooden structures together as a team while Heidi enjoyed her time with colouring.
