Welcome to the ‘’farm’’: Kyabram P-12 College Foundation teacher Teaghen Taylor offered a fun introduction to her Foundation students on Monday. In her first year of teaching the Foundation students, last year, she had a jungle theme. In 2023 the theme is Miss Taylor’s Farmyard Classroom, in keeping with the fact that she lives on a property. She is with students Harry Fisher, Lacey Northausen and Sally Hall.
Sixty-one Foundation students started in three classrooms at Kyabram P-12 College on Monday, but they weren’t the only ones experiencing their “first day’’ at the school.
There were 15 new members of staff also suffering from first day jitters as they stepped onto the primary and secondary campuses of the college.
New acting college principal Marina Walsh was also on her “official’’ first day and was there to welcome the 950 students and 120 staff.
Inside next week’s edition of the Free Press will be a wider look at the region’s new Foundation students and how the district schools have started the 2023 school year.
That’s lunch on day one: Stevie Stock, Zoe Dennis and Abby Gill open their lunch boxes on their first day of school at Kyabram P-12 College.
