It seems as though the first day of school for Grade 1 learners at Christ Church Preparatory and College went off without a hitch.
The schools opened their gates to welcome excited new and old learners on 16 January for the start of the academic year.
“Christ Church Preparatory School and College had a great start to 2019 with far more laughter than tears,” said Principal David Bell.
“We are looking forward to being back at school after a long Christmas break and the school was really buzzing. Active teaching and learning took place from day one. We welcome new children, parents and staff to our school family.”
