The Pre-Kindergarten students thoroughly enjoyed showing their buddies around the studio, proudly introducing different areas of our learning space and inviting them to explore a variety of activities together.<\/p>\n<p>It was lovely to see the students engaging in shared play experiences, with the Year 5 girls supporting, guiding, and joining in with enthusiasm.
