Day of celebration: in the final week of term, the boys were presented with their "Prep Pursuit" certificates. Here are the boys of Prep Joss, with their proud teacher.

Lucky Cody! Cody was lucky enough to have his name drawn out of the hat by Mr Philp, meaning he got to keep Tiger at the end of the year. It looks in this photo like Tiger is pretty happy to be going home with Cody.

Ladder: it was a bit of a squeeze, but Steve managed to get everyone into the photo, even Harri!

Christmas Card: one of many cards given and received by the Prep Joss boys.

Mrs Joss: Its a picture of Mrs Joss. Hang on, click the photo, maybe its lots of pictures (1632) of the boys from Prep Joss!

Mrs Philp: Melbourne cup day, hence the hat.

Tropical Fruit World: we had a school excursion to TFW. It was so much fun and we utilised many forms of transport (our theme for term 4). Unfortunately we only had 14 adults to look after the 15 boys in our class, but we coped.

Prep parents: two social events were organised during the year. What a fine looking bunch they are!

Another birthday: This time it is Steve's birthday (he is the one getting squished by the boys). Lovely cup cake ensemble as a birthday cake (a few candles short though).

PE Uniform: out in front of class, in our PE uniforms, listening intently to Mrs Joss.

Aus-kick: many of the boys from class took part in the Aus-kick programme after school, coaching them on the skills needed for AFL. Steve reckons this should hold Cody in good stead so he is ready when Dan Carter retires.

Halloween: Mason and Cody all made up for their trick or treat evening. Needless to say, no one wanted to play a trick on these little devils and they went home with a huge stash of lollies.

Hugs: Steve getting a lovely hug from the Musgrave lad.

Bike-athon: The boys showed off their riding skills by taking part in the school bike-athon. Not only was it a great workout for the boys, but money was raised for a local charity.

Mr Baillie's birthday: as usual we had lots of fun celebrating a birthday, this time it was Mr Baillie's. He is so awesome.

Term 4 - Swimming: In term 4 we got to go in the bus across to the senior school to participate in our swimming coaching programme. Not surprisingly, the Prep J boys were all pretty good at swimming.

Frisbee time: Mr E took the boys for frisbee throwing and catching. Cody managed to make the frisbee behave like a boomerang, throwing it into the wind and then catching it. Concentrate Cody!

Birthday party: one of the many birthday parties this year. For Cody's 6th birthday we all did 10 pin bowling at "Strike Bowling".

21st September, House Athletics Day: There was distance running and sprints, leaping, throwing and many other athletic endeavours. Luckily there was plenty of water on hand as the athletics day was thirsty work. Once again, lots of fun was had by all.

20th September, Dads' breakfast. To show their supportive parents (and grand parents), there was a great turnout for the Dads' breakfast. It didn't hurt that there was bacon, sausages and eggs on offer plus some great coffee. We all had a lovely morning.

Conducting a Volcano experiment in the sandpit.

The teachers, suitably attired to control the African animals.

14th September - International Day. Prep performance - "An African Tale". All the boys dressed up as an animal and took part in the tale. It was such a fun day.

Cody and Mrs Bird. She has been a wonderful relief teacher in Prep J, when required.

Lemon tasting by Finn. It appears that the sour component of his taste buds are working fine.
