First day

Our Preppies were excited to start learning on their first day of big school last week! Our Prep transition program ensured the students, and their parents and carers, were all well-prepared for the day and felt comfortable and happy.

'My First Year'

Mr Brendan, a photographer from The Cairns Post, will return to Bentley on Thursday 20 February to photograph our Prep classes. The photos will then feature in an online gallery and also a published newspaper - dates to be confirmed. We always look forward to this special event and the cute pictures of our littlest students! Only Prep students with written media consent, via our State School Consent Form, will be photographed.
