Eager to learn and very excited, new kindergarten students have stepped into Inverell Shire schools for the first time.

From tiny classes with just a few students to bigger ones that fill their rooms, every school in the district is thrilled to welcome their new kindies, and invite them into the world of endless curiosity that is education.

In one of these classrooms could be a future doctor that saves your life, an artist that will inspire you or a leader for the next generation. The possibilities are never-ending.

Featured in this gallery are Inverell Public, Ross Hill Public, Holy Trinity, Tingha Public, Gum Flat, Yetman Public, Bundarra Central, Gilgai Public, Delungra Public and Bonshaw Public.
