Bright-eyed young pupils at King David Linksfield, King David Victory Park, and Yeshiva College expressed excitement at starting an unforgettable adventure this week.

Stepping into the thrilling world of “big school” for the very first time, they arrived with bright smiles and backpacks full of hopes and dreams. Ready to embrace the challenges and experiences that will shape their futures, they couldn’t wait to share their thoughts on the first day.

At King David Linksfield, Eva-Rose Segal (7) was quick to share her dream. “I want to be a marine biologist one day, so I hope my new teacher will help me learn all about it!” Rafael Janks (6) was equally eager, saying, “I love acting, so I want to learn everything about it!” With a cheeky grin, he said, “The smartest person I know is my sister, but I’m pretty clever too!”

For Jannah Kopping (6), the excitement of Grade 1 is all about discovering new things. “I really want to learn about new things, but I’m not sure what they are yet,” she said. Sadie Isaacs (6) is certain that her interest lies in science, and proudly names her brother as the smartest person she knows. “It’s because he does lots of homework!” she said.

Noah Bricker (6) had a special reason to be excited this year – he now gets to go to school with his big sister. “I’m excited to see my big sister at school,” he beamed. “Grade 1 means I have to work hard so I can be smart when I grow up.”

At King David Victory Park, Holly Blecher (6) shared how her new school filled her with a mixture of excitement and some nerves. “Grade 1 feels different because I’m wearing a uniform!” she said, clearly proud of her new look. For Rio Lapidus (6) and Akhela Horn (6), both budding sports enthusiasts, joining the swimming team and playing soccer and cricket are what they’re most looking forward to.

Twins Miracle and Marvellous Emeka (6) were anticipating the new experiences that Grade 1 would bring. Miracle couldn’t wait to “read books and make new friends”, while Marvellous was in awe of the school’s incredible facilities, including “the slides on the playground, laptops and computers, and all the games!”

Tali Mae Johnston-Kowen (6) offered wise words with a bright smile. “If I could make one rule for school, it would be ‘always be kind’,” she said.

Meanwhile, the Grade 1s at Yeshiva College are just as excited for the adventure ahead. Uriya Schwartz (6); Mati Garber (6); and Liora Chiger (6) all share a passion for learning more about Torah, with Mati adding, “And soccer too!”

Mikaela Kruger (6) shared her perspective, saying, “It’s better to be a grown-up at work because you earn money.” However, Aaron Issarow (6) had a different view, saying, “It’s better to be a child at school because you learn more about everything!”

These energetic, curious, and eager young pupils are ready to take on the year ahead, each bringing their own unique dreams, hopes, and personalities to the classroom. With the unwavering support of their teachers, parents, and community, they are sure to make exciting discoveries, create unforgettable memories, and form lifelong friendships. The future shines brightly for them.
