Remember those oversized backpacks and toothless grins?
It's hard to believe, but the "little feet" who took their first big steps into Bathurst's classrooms in 2020 are now the seasoned leaders of Year 6.
As we prepare to launch our 2026 Kindergarten feature - Big Steps for Little Feet - we're taking a nostalgic look back at the faces that started it all.
This isn't just a gallery; it's a time capsule of our community.
From the nervous first mornings at Bathurst Public to the playground friendships forged at Kelso, these photos capture some special memories for our next generation of young leaders.
Revisit the class of 2020 today - because while the feet have grown, the memories are just as fresh.
Our gallery includes photos from every kindergarten class in the Bathurst region during their first weeks of big school.
