SCHOOL began this week for kindergarten students at local schools, and at Wauchope Public School the milestone was shared by three sets of twins.
Among the school’s 86 kindergarten students are twins Charlie and Emilia, Zoe and Thomas, and Hale and Wolfe, all starting their school journey together in 2026.
There was a mix of excitement and nerves across the week as the twins, alongside their classmates, began settling into school life and meeting others as part of the wider school community.
Starting school is a significant milestone for children, their parents and carers, and their teachers, with careful preparation helping to ensure the transition runs as smoothly as possible.
The NSW Department of Education recommends simple steps such as preparing uniforms, lunches and school bags, encouraging children to dress themselves.
The advice also includes ensuring students wear a hat and sunscreen, confirming pick-up arrangements, and discussing road safety.
Wauchope Public School has welcomed 86 kindergarten students across five classes this year.
