Peachester State School welcomes Preps with fun, friends, learning and Auslan!
Excitement filled the air at the school as a new batch of eager Preps embarked on their educational journey, marked by a day filled with fun, friends, learning, and the introduction of Auslan.
The school’s vibrant atmosphere was palpable as parents bid a bittersweet farewell to their little ones, who eagerly stepped through the classroom doors, excited staff welcoming the newest members of the Peachester school community.
Principal, Kim Fillery, expressed her enthusiasm for the school year ahead, saying, “We are thrilled to welcome these young learners to Peachester State School. Our dedicated team is committed to providing an environment that fosters not only academic growth but also the development of lifelong friendships and a love for learning.”
The first week kicked off with an array of engaging activities designed to ease the transition from home to school. The students thoroughly enjoyed bringing their own little friend along to the annual Prep Teddy Bears’ picnic, with fun and laughter echoing around the beautiful school.
One notable addition to Peachester State School’s curriculum this year is the incorporation of Auslan into every classroom throughout the school. Auslan, aims to enhance communication and inclusivity within the school community.
“Our commitment to inclusivity extends beyond words, and introducing Auslan is a step towards ensuring that every child feels seen and heard. We are very lucky to have a talented staff member joining us this year who is delivering this opportunity to all our learners.”
