The Cape was bustling with excitement and nerves as parents sent their young ones off to school for the very first time last week.
Thank you to the schools and parents who sent in their first-day snaps – now we can all enjoy the smiling faces of the region’s littlest learners.
We hope 2026 turns out to be a great start to our preps’ school journeys.
