BELGRAVE Heights Christian School has hit the new school year running, with the yards abuzz with the sounds of eager students.
An incredible 33 Preps have started their academic life at the school, joining the more than 100 students.
School principal, Andy Callow, said the new students were all settling in well, with the Year 7s in particular enjoying use of the new middle-school complex.
“The Preps’ first day was fantastic, with lots of smiles and happy people,” the principal said.
“There were no tears from Preps, parents or even the teachers.”
Meanwhile, the new term is also a first for 2500 Victorian teaching graduates, who are starting their careers as qualified teachers.
Minister for Education, James Merlino, recently congratulated many who had taken the first step towards a teaching career.
“Our newest teachers are embarking on a truly rewarding profession – helping our children learn, opening their eyes to our world and everything in it,” Mr Merlino said.
