Unfortunately I was tied up in something and didn't notice until too late that Erika (who booked a day off of work to do this) had already taken Vanessa to her first day of public school at Kew Beach. Or as Vanessa puts it: "big kid school". ;-)
I did go and pick her up along with Erika and Annie. All of the other Kindergarten kids and her were lined up, all with big yellow badges pinned to them saying "I had a good first day at school". And she did -- the teacher told us that she made friends, was polite and followed directions well.
We had a chance to talk to the teacher for a little while afterwards, essentially getting a mini-interview as to what's required of us in terms of drop-off/pick-up, what not to bring in (any peanut-related products), and what is discouraged (backpacks, because they don't really need to carry much and because it can be a hassle to put on come Wintertime).
Vanessa's teacher seems very nice and has done this long enough that she knows what to do and expect of every child.
