Marley, Casey and Elizabeth dressed as 100-year-olds to celebrate 100 days of school.
Drouin South Primary School celebrated 100 days of uninterrupted learning on Friday.
Since the pandemic began all school have been interrupted by various lockdowns and other COVID-19-related issues.
Students dressed up as 100-year-old people or in bright colours for the occasion and enjoyed party food and games.
Prep teacher Matt Grimshaw said it was nice for the students to finally celebrate 100 days of learning.
"Consistency of learning helps with routine and structure, it helps with the development of friendships and social skills as well," he said.
Mr Grimshaw said in-person classes had positively impacted the children in a number of ways.
"We've realised that being in the classroom has made a huge difference with their growth - academically and in their wellbeing."
Mr Grimshaw said the students had been counting down the days since the start of the year and were very excited to finally reach the milestone.
During periods of lockdown, Drouin South Primary School used Class DOJO to communicate and send tasks to students, and WebX to facilitate face-to-face online learning as well.
"We approached remote learning with a lot of wellbeing and care," Mr Grimshaw said.
On Friday grade 5/6 students helped the prep students to join in on the fun. They paired up with the younger students as 'buddies' and helped them on a scavenger hunt around the classrooms.
During this time laughter and chatter filled the air as the students worked together and had a good time.
