Prep students in Nhill and Kaniva schools have reached an exciting milestone — 100 days of school.

To mark the occasion, students dressed up in colourful outfits and took part in fun, themed activities celebrating all they’ve learned in their first year. Classroom celebrations included reading special books, creating self-portraits imagining life at 100, and making bead necklaces with 100 beads grouped in tens. Handmade crowns capped off the day.

Across Victoria, more than 65,000 prep students are on their way, supported by early learning resources and programs designed to give them the best start.
