From uniforms and shoes to school gear, pupils in the island’s public education system were ready for the start of their new academic year.
Coming the day after a torrential downpour swamped the island, the morning sunshine was an extra welcome touch as parents dropped off their youngsters at West Pembroke Primary School.
The Royal Gazette’s Akil Simmons was on hand to catch some pictures of the big day.
