Prep intake ‘a modern record’

INGLEWOOD Primary School principal Lex Johnstone is searching the records as the school has its largest prep enrolment in recent memory.

Mr Johnstone said this year’s class of 10 students was the largest year level for the school.

“Last year we had four come into the school at prep ... about half of this year’s enrolment has older brothers and sisters at the school,” Mr Johnstone said.

“It’s a biggest prep enrolment for a very long time.”

And there is one new face on staff at Inglewood for 2023 with Sarah Roediger teaching the Year 2-3 class.

There are also large prep enrolments at East Loddon P12 College with 18 new faces starting in Ms Bridie Milroy’s class while at Wedderburn College prep teacher Mrs Tanya Chalmers has a class of 12 students.

Wedderburn College assistant principal Dean Lockhart said the prep students had also been presented with their first school hat after the local Lions Club again made a donation to the school.

“The club’s ongoing support of new students every year is greatly appreciate by the school,.” Mr Lockhart said.
