Busy, Busy, busy as schools go back today
LAST year there were 567,478 primary school students in Victoria and there’s every indication there’ll be just as many starting back to school on Wednesday this week.
- But take care on the roads
LAST year there were 567,478 primary school students in Victoria and there’s every indication there’ll be just as many starting back to school on Wednesday this week.
In fact, on a busy morning in Bayview Avenue Inverloch this morning, it seemed as if a good number of those students had decided to turn up at Inverloch Primary School in 2026.
Thank God for the Inverloch Recreation Reserve which serves as an overflow carpark at pick-up and drop-off times!
First-time students with their proud parents in tow.
Experienced campaigners riding in on bikes or leaving mum or dad in their wake.
Teachers drifting in after attending a warm-up (literally) on Tuesday.
It was busy, busy, busy with a atmosphere of everyone being ready for back to school even if it came hard on an equally busy, and hot, Australia Day long weekend.
Of course, the key message for the rest of us is TAKE CARE ON THE ROADS!!
There are always a lot more kids, parents and cars out on the roads at this time of the year and with the new school year on their mind it’s easy to get distracted.
Have a happy 2026 school year!
