New school, new preps

Hillside Primary School has begun the new term as a standalone school, following the demerger from Sydenham-Hillside Primary School.

The school said the milestone marks an exciting new chapter for families in the Hillside community, and that it represents years of planning, community consultation, and investment in new facilities including a purpose-built learning environment designed to support contemporary teaching and learning.

Prep students have already settled into school life, making new friends and learning new skills.

Star Weekly photographer Damjan Janevski dropped by to capture some of the fun.
