The school's secondary students and preps started classes on Friday, with the rest of the primary pupils joining them this week.
"The preps have got 13 years of school in front of them and being welcomed by the big kids about to embark on their last year," said principal Ken Nuridin

While Ballarat Christian College prep pupils and newcomers at some other schools took their first step through the classroom door on Friday, hundreds of preps across Ballarat will celebrate their first day at school on Monday.
