The big day finally arrived for 90 new Foundation students.
These new students began their first ever school day by walking the red carpet where they were greeted by principal Helen Staindl, who welcomed them to St Clare’s School with a special medal.
The medal of St Clare, which came all the way from Assisi in Italy, is a reminder of the school’s Patron Saint.
Once inside the beautiful learning spaces, students and families were greeted by four very excited Foundation teachers.
The teachers are looking forward to a great year and will work with the students and encourage all to do their best learning within a kind and welcoming environment.
St Clare’s is a Catholic Primary School in Officer with close to 600 students.
The school’s core beliefs are built around the teachings of Jesus and, specifically, the values of respect, optimism, courage, kindness and feeling safe.
