The students were greeted with balloons, music, bubble machines, a pathway of petals and the smiling faces of staff upon their return.
School principal Annie Everingham said it was exciting to see things return to a more normal state of affairs.
"Staff are very happy to have our students return to full-time schooling again and to get everyone back into routines and on board," she said.
"We are mindful of our students' well-being, whilst continuing on with quality teaching and learning."
Ms Everingham said the school had been averaging around 660-680 students per day this week, which was close to 90 per cent of the total student population.
She said the students were also excited to be back, with the children doing "lots of catching up and reconnecting with friends and staff they have not seen for some time."
